Protein
Probable spanin, inner membrane subunit
Organism
Escherichia phage Mu
Function
Component of the spanin complex that disrupts the host outer membrane and causes cell lysis during virus exit. The spanin complex conducts the final step in host lysis by disrupting the outer membrane after holin and endolysin action have permeabilized the inner membrane and degraded the host peptidoglycans (Probable).
