Crystal structure of the Vibrio cholerae cytolysin heptamer reveals common features among disparate pore-forming toxins

Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are potent cytolytic agents secreted by pathogenic bacteria that protect microbes against the cell-mediated immune system (by targeting phagocytic cells), disrupt epithelial barriers, and liberate materials necessary to sustain growth and colonization. Produced by gram-pos...
