Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcal gamma-haemolysin HlgA-HlgB forms a beta-barrel transmembrane pore in cells and in model membranes. The pore is formed by the oligomerization of two different proteins and a still debated number of monomers. To clarify the topology of the pore, we have mutated single residues - placed near the right and left interfaces of each monomer into cysteine. The mutants were labelled with fluorescent probes,...
