Inactivation and activity of cholesterol-dependent cytolysins: what structural studies tell us.
- Abstract:
-
The homologous bacterially expressed cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) form pores via oligomerization; this must occur preferentially once the target membrane has been engaged. Conformational changes in CDCs then drive partition from an aqueous environment to a lipidic one. This review addresses how premature oligomerization is prevented, how conformational changes are triggered, and how cooperativity between subunits brings about new functionality absent from isolated protomers. Variat...
