Abstract excerpt
Vibrio vulnificus hemolysin (VVH) is thought to be a member of the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC) family of pore-forming toxins. To date, the structure-function relationships of CDCs produced by Gram-negative bacteria remain largely unknown. We show here that the aromatic ring of phenylalanine residue conserved in Vibrionaceae hemolysins is essential for oligomerization of VVH. We generated the VVH...
