HokB
As HokB belongs to the Hok/Gef family, it is predicted to be a single-span membrane peptide,which is a single-span membrane peptide with a long, negatively charged C-terminal periplasmic tail and a short, positively charged N terminus extending in the cytoplasm. HokB has the ability to selectively insert into the cellular membrane and aggregate to create pores with a diameter of around 0.64nm, which alters the membrane potential, depolarize the membrane, hinder ATP synthesis, decrease the cell's energy ratio, and lead to ATP leakage,[1] ultimately resulting in cell death.
