From Cell Death to Metabolism: Holin-Antiholin Homologues with New Functions
ABSTRACT Programmed cell death in bacteria is generally triggered by membrane proteins with functions analogous to those of bacteriophage holins: they disrupt the membrane potential, whereas antiholins antagonize this process. The holin-like class of proteins is present in all three domains of life,...
