Molecular Machinery of the Triad Holin, Endolysin, and Spanin: Key Players Orchestrating Bacteriophage-Induced Cell Lysis and their Therapeutic Applications
Protein Pept Lett. 2024 Jan 22. doi: 10.2174/0109298665181166231212051621. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhage 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. Phages produce endolysins muralytic enzymes, they are phage-encoded peptidoglycan hydrolases (PGHs) that cause enzymatically breakdown of the host bacterium's peptidoglycan (PG) or murein layer at the end of their lytic multiplication cycle. Phage holins regulate endolysin access to the PG, starting the lysis pr...
