Deinococcus/Thermus holin family explained

The Deinococcus/Thermus Holin (D/T-Hol) Family (TC# 1.E.41) consists of a single protein with no close homologues (Putative holin of Meiothermus silvanus,TC# 1.E.41.1.1); however, its distant homology to members of the Holin superfamily III suggest an evolutionary relationship.^{[1] [2]} The putative holin of Meiothermus silvanus is 108 amino acyl residues in length and possesses 3 transmembrane segments.
