Holins: the protein clocks of bacteriophage infections
▪ Abstract Two proteins, an endolysin and a holin, are essential for host lysis by
bacteriophage. Endolysin is the term for muralytic enzymes that degrade the cell wall; …

Phages will out: strategies of host cell lysis
Most phages accomplish host lysis using a muralytic enzyme, or endolysin, and a holin,
which permeabilizes the membrane at a programmed time and thus controls the length of …
