Bipartite pore-forming toxin YaxAB: understanding pore formation using live-cell imaging
Bacteria employ a variety of strategies to invade and colonise the host tissue, including the secretion of toxins to overcome the cellular barrier. Bacterial pore-forming toxins (PFTs) disrupt the lipid bilayer by forming ... -
Investigation of cell membrane dynamics: A potential marker for lipid response towards membrane-active proteins and peptides
The cell membrane is made up of lipids and proteins held together with intermolecular hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions. These physical non-covalent interactions help in maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane, ... -
Molecular determinants of self-assembly of the pore forming toxin Cytolysin A
Pore forming toxins (PFTs) belong to a class of bacterial exotoxins that disrupt the biological membrane barrier by formation of nanopores. These toxins are central to the virulence of pathogens such as S. pneumoniae, ...
