Abstract excerpt
Thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) of Vibrio parahemolyticus is a membrane-damaging pore-forming toxin with potent cytolytic/cytotoxic activity. TDH exists as a tetramer consisting of protomers with a core β-sandwich domain, flanked by an 11-amino acid long N-terminal region (NTR). This NTR could not be modeled in the previously determined crystal structure of TDH. Moreover, the functional implication of NTR for...
