[T4 holin]

Holins from T4 bacteriophage assemble together to form pores on inner membrane of bacteria allowing lysozyme to reach periplasm and degrade peptidoglycan layer.

Group: (Michigan 2017) Author: (Aaron Renberg) Summary: We improved this part by optimizing the codons for translation in E. coli using IDT’s codon optimization tool, and by eliminating the illegal XbaI site that Imperial College London’s 2011 team found, making it much easier for future iGEM teams to use. The changes we made were T358C, T556C, T563C, and T571C. Additionally, we constructed three different versions (of varying promoter strength) of a temperature controlled kill switch using holin, endolysin and antiholin.
