*Holin is a protein that forms pores in cell membranes | |||
* Anti-holin binds to holin, inhibiting it's action. | |||
*Once pores are formed by holin, lysozyme can access the periplasmic space and degrade the cell wall, causing cell lysis. | |||

| The Toluene Terminator is a Pseudomonas putida device that aims to: | |||
#identify the toxic compound toluene in an environmental setting (e.g. a spill into soil from an underground petrol tank), | |||
#move to and uptake it, | |||
#metabolize it, | |||
#destroy itself when all of the toluene has been metabolized. | |||
|'''''A kill switch that operates through the Enterobacteria phage T4 Lysis Device (lysozyme, holin, and antiholin)''''' created by the Berkley 2008 team. We proposed two mechanisms for cell lysis: | |||
*arabinose inducible suicide mechanism | |||
*suicide mechanism with tunable repression. | |||
