Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcal LukF and Hlg2 are water-soluble monomers of gamma-haemolysin that assemble into oligomeric pores on the erythrocyte membranes. Here, we have created double-cysteine LukF mutants, in which single disulphide bonds connect either the prestem domain and the cap domain (V12C-T136C, Cap-Stem), or two beta-strands within the prestem domain (T117C-T136C, Stem-Stem) to control pore assembly of...
