Catalysis of the temporally-regulated formation of a transmembrane protein hole that allows the passage of ions, causing a lethal, irreversible depolarization of the cell membrane. Catalysis of the temporally-regulated formation of a transmembrane protein hole that directly or indirectly allows murein hydrolyases to access their cell wall substrate. Catalysis of energy-independent facilitated diffusion, mediated by passage of a solute through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel. Stereospecificity is not exhibited but this transport may be specific for a particular molecular species or class of molecules.
