phage holin family protein
This family represents one of a large number of mutually dissimilar families of phage holins. Holins act against the host cell membrane to allow lytic enzymes of the phage to reach the bacterial cell wall. This family includes the product of the S gene of phage lambda. (from Pfam)
phage holin family protein may function in the transport of murein hydrolases (endolysins) across the cytoplasmic membrane to the cell wall where these enzymes hydrolyze the cell wall polymer as a prelude to cell lysis
