Biology

The S gene of lambda bacteriophage has the characteristics of a double initiation motif, which can encode two proteins with opposite functions, S107 and S105. Among them, S105 plays the function of holin. It accumulates harmlessly in the cytoplasmic membrane until it reaches a critical concentration that triggers the formation of micron-scale pores (holes) causing host cell membrane disruption and endolysin escape into the periplasmic space.
