Extending the aerolysin family: from bacteria to vertebrates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 A number of bacterial virulence factors have been observed to adopt structures similar to that of aerolysin, the principal toxin of Aeromonas species. However, a comprehensive description of architecture and structure of the aerolysin-like superfamily ...

Amaranthin-Like Proteins with Aerolysin Domains in Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Amaranthin is a homodimeric lectin that was first discovered in the seeds of Amaranthus caudatus and serves as a model for the family of amaranthin-like lectins.

The Saccharomyces killer toxin K62 is a protein of the aerolysin family [PDF]
mBioK62 is an antifungal killer toxin produced by Saccharomyces paradoxus, encoded by a double-stranded RNA satellite. The toxin exhibits a unique antifungal activity but lacks sequence homology to other killer toxins, and its antifungal mechanism of action ...

Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria serine protease activates aerolysin and cleaves EpCAM to breach the epithelial barrier [PDF]
Journal of BacteriologyInfections by Aeromonas can rapidly progress from mucosal colonization to invasive disease, but how these bacteria efficiently breach epithelial barriers is unclear.

The fungal peptide toxin candidalysin induces distinct membrane repair mechanisms compared to bacterial pore-forming toxins [PDF]
Cell Death DiscoveryThe common fungal pathogen, Candida albicans, relies on the pore-forming toxin candidalysin to damage host cells. Cells counteract pore-forming toxins by Ca2+-dependent mechanisms, such as microvesicle shedding and annexin recruitment to resist ...

Aerolysin-like proteins from Armillaria ostoyae with potential roles in plant pathogenicity reveal a distant evolutionary relationship to toadfish natterins [PDF]
Frontiers in Fungal BiologyUnderstanding the evolutionary distribution and functional roles of toxins across diverse taxa remains a fundamental challenge in fungal biology. Aerolysin-like beta-pore-forming toxins are widely distributed across multiple kingdoms of life, yet their ...
