The ''Neisserial'' Phage-associated Holin (NP-Holin) Family
TC# 1.E.22 is a family of small proteins, between 47–53 amino acyl residues in length, that exhibit a single
N-terminal
The N-terminus (also known as the amino-terminus, NH2-terminus, N-terminal end or amine-terminus) is the start of a protein or polypeptide, referring to the free amine group (-NH2) located at the end of a polypeptide. Within a peptide, the ami ...
transmembrane segment (TMS). Although annotated as
phage proteins or holins, NP-Holin proteins are not yet functionally characterized, thus more research is needed to confirm holin activity. A representative list of proteins belonging to the NP-Holin family can be found in th
