4idj
From Proteopedia
Contents |
S.Aureus a-hemolysin monomer in complex with Fab
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23416200
Function
[HLA_STAAU] Alpha-toxin binds to the membrane of eukaryotic cells resulting in the release of low-molecular weight molecules and leading to an eventual osmotic lysis. Heptamer oligomerization and pore formation is required for lytic activity.
