Topological examination of the bacteriophage lambda S holin by EPR spectroscopy

Biophysical Journal, 2022
The S protein from bacteriophage lambda is a three-helix transmembrane protein produced by the prophage which accumulates in the host membrane during late gene expression. It is responsible for the first step in lysing the host cell at the end of the viral life cycle by multimerizing together to form large pores which permeabilize the host membrane to ...

Functional analysis of the phage T4 holin in a λ context

Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2001
Phage lambda hybrids were constructed by inserting the t gene of phage T4 in place of the lambda holin gene, S. Induction of the hybrid phage resulted in lysis that was just as abrupt as, but occurred much earlier in the vegetative cycle than, that obtained with lambda, indicating that t is indeed a holin gene. Moreover, it was possible to impose lysis

Biochemical and Genetic Characterization of Bacteriophage Holins

open access: yes, 2013
Bacteriophages infect and kill bacterial cells. During the infection cycle, a phage attaches to the host cell surface, then ejects its DNA into the cytoplasm, where its progenies are subsequently assembled.

Molecular Machinery of the Triad Holin, Endolysin, and Spanin: Key Players Orchestrating Bacteriophage-Induced Cell Lysis and their Therapeutic Applications.

Protein Peptide Letters
Phage therapy has attracted attention as a possible alternative treatment for multi-drug resistance (MDR) infections in recent years. The lytic bacteriophages encode proteins for bacterial host envelope rupture.

A coupling process for improving purity of bacterial minicells by holin/lysin

Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2011
Drug and gene delivery systems using bacterial minicells have attracted much attention. Here we attempted to enhance the yield and purity of the minicells using a novel method in which autolysin induced in actively metabolizing parent cells led to autolysis. A two-step protocol coupling an autolysin (holin/lysin) step with a conventional centrifugation

How Transcriptional Bursting and mRNA Production Affect Precise Timing of Cell Lysis Phenomena.

Journal of Physical Chemistry B
Bacterial viruses infect bacterial cells and stimulate the production of holin proteins that accumulate in the cellular membranes. When the number of such proteins reaches a threshold, the membrane permeabilizes and the cell is destroyed in the process ...

The bacteriolytic activity of the putative holin Gp52 of bacteriophage Phi11 requires its N‐terminal transmembrane domains

FEBS Letters
Gene gp52 of bacteriophage Phi11 encodes a putative holin (“GeneID:1258070”). Holins are bacteriophage proteins that control host cell lysis and determine the timing of the phage's infectious cycle.

A Novel Queuovirinae Subfamily Phage Targeting Acinetobacter baumannii: Isolation, Characterization, and Synergistic Lysis System.

Microbial Pathogenesis
BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii is a typical extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen. Bacteriophages and their encoded lytic proteins, such as endolysins and holins, represent a promising novel therapeutic approach ...
