The PRD1 Phage P35 Holin (P35 Holin) Family (TC# 1.E.5) is a member of Holin Superfamily III.[1] The prototype for this family is the lipid-containing PRD1 enterobacterial phage holin protein P35 (12.8 kDa; TC# 1.E.5.1.1) encoded by gene XXXV (orfT).[2] It is a component of a typical holin-endolysin system which functions to lyse the host bacterial cell.
Structure edit
P35 holin (TC# 1.E.5.1.1) has 3 transmembrane segments (TMSs) with 5 positively charged residues between TMSs 1 and 2. It has 4 positively charged residues at the C-terminus.[2] It is therefore thought that the N-terminus is in the periplasm and the C-terminus is in the cytoplasm. Homologues of 109 amino acyl residues (aas), which also have 3 putative TMSs, are encoded in the genomes of Xylella fastidiosa strains.[2]
Function edit
The reaction catalyzed by P35 holin is:
- autolysin (in) → autolysin (out)
