Moreover, the asymmetric unit contents of the VR2+/lysin complex ( Figure 7 A), which is computationally scored as highly significant and could mimic a lysin-bound VERL branch, hints that contacts between lysin molecules attached to successive homodimeric VERL repeats may contribute to the cooperativity of VE dissolution ( Swanson and Vacquier, 1997 ).
