Abstract excerpt
CCR5-mediated cytotoxicity of staphylococcal bi-component toxins was investigated using human CCR5-expressing CHO cells. Cytotoxicity of rim domain loop-exchange mutants between LukE and Hlg2 indicated that loop-4 of LukE is essential for cytotoxicity in combination with LukD. Interestingly, Hlg2 showed LukF-dependent CCR5-mediated cytotoxicity, suggesting that the F-components of toxins also play a role in the...
