Soluble Oligomers of the Pore-forming Toxin Cytolysin A from Escherichia coli Are Off-pathway Products of Pore Assembly.
The α-pore-forming toxin Cytolysin A (ClyA) is responsible for the hemolytic activity of various Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica strains. Soluble ClyA monomers spontaneously assemble into annular dodecameric pore complexes upon contact with membranes or detergent. At ClyA monomer concentrations above ∼100 nm, the rate-limiting step in detergent- or membrane- induced pore assembly is th...
متن کاملEffects of the eukaryotic pore-forming cytolysin Equinatoxin II on lipid membranes and the role of sphingomyelin.
Equinatoxin II (EqtII), a protein toxin from the sea anemone Actinia equina, readily creates pores in sphingomyelin-containing lipid membranes. The perturbation by EqtII of model lipid membranes composed of dimyristoylphosphatidycholine and sphingomyelin (10 mol %) was investigated using wideline phosphorus-31 and deuterium NMR. The preferential interaction between EqtII (0.1 and 0.4 mol %) and...
متن کاملProtective role of autophagy against Vibrio cholerae cytolysin, a pore-forming toxin from V. cholerae.
Autophagy is the unique, regulated mechanism for the degradation of organelles. This intracellular process acts as a prosurvival pathway during cell starvation or stress and is also involved in cellular response against specific bacterial infections. Vibrio cholerae is a noninvasive intestinal pathogen that has been studied extensively as the causative agent of the human disease cholera. V. cho...

متن کاملPore Formation Mechanism of Staphylococcal Pore- forming Toxin
Y. Tanaka and M. Yao (Hokkaido Univ.) Pathogenic bacteria express pore-forming toxins (PFTs) to attack host cells. PFTs are expressed as soluble monomeric proteins, which assemble to prepore oligomer on the target cells. After forming prepore, conformational change occurs, and then the pore is formed. Although the crystal structures of monomer and pore have been determined, the detailed mechani...
