lysB

Gene
lysB
Protein
Probable spanin, inner membrane subunit
Organism
Escherichia phage P2
Length
141 amino acids
Function
Component of the spanin complex that disrupts the host outer membrane and participates in 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. Host outer membrane disruption is possibly due to local fusion between the inner and outer membrane performed by the spanin complex (By similarity).
