Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Leukotoxin Utilizes a Cholesterol Recognition/Amino Acid Consensus Site for Membrane Association

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans produces a repeats-in-toxin (RTX) leukotoxin (LtxA) that selectively kills human immune cells. Binding of LtxA to its β(2) integrin receptor (lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1)) results in the clustering of the toxin·receptor complex in lipid rafts...
