The Phage T4 Antiholin RI Has a Cleavable Signal Peptide, Not a SAR Domain

Holin/endolysin-mediated lysis of phage T4 of Escherichia coli is tightly regulated by the antiholins RI and RIII. While regulation by the cytoplasmic RIII plays a minor role, the periplasmic antiholin RI binds tightly to the holin T and is believed to directly sense periplasmic phage DNA from super...
