Efficient production of functional proaerolysin from <i>E.coli</i>
2024-09-20
Abstract excerpt
Proaerolysin is a bacterial toxin produced by Aeromonas hydrophila that specifically binds to GPI-anchored proteins on the plasma membrane, creating transmembrane pores that lead to cell death within a few hours.
