Putative actinobacterial holin-X family explained

The putative actinobacterial holin-X (Hol-X) family (TC# 1.E.34^[1]) was retrieved as a distant member of TC family 1.E.20,^[2] suggesting membership of the holin superfamily III.^[3] Most Hol-X proteins are less than 200 amino acyl residues (aas) in length and possess two transmembrane segments (TMSs). A representative list of proteins belonging to this family can be found in the Transporter Classification Database.^{[4] [5] [6]}
