Genetic Analysis of the Lambda Spanins Rz and Rz1: Identification of Functional Domains

Genetic Analysis of the Lambda Spanins Rz and Rz1: Identification of Functional Domains

Coliphage lambda proteins Rz and Rz1 are the inner membrane and outer membrane subunits of the spanin complex—a heterotetramer that bridges the periplasm and is essential for the disruption of the outer membrane during phage lysis. Recent evidence suggests the spanin complex functions by fusing the...
