The Natterin Proteins Diversity: A Review on Phylogeny, Structure, and Immune Function
Toxins, 2021 Since the first record of the five founder members of the group of Natterin proteins in the venom of the medically significant fish Thalassophryne nattereri, new sequences have been identified in other species.

Toxins, 2021 Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) form multimeric trans-membrane pores in cell membranes that differ in pore channel diameter (PCD). Cellular resistance to large PFTs (>20 nm PCD) was shown to rely on Ca2+ influx activated membrane repair mechanisms. Small PFTs

Interactions Between Aerolysin, Erythrocytes, and Erythrocyte Membranes [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1975 Aerolysin, a hemolytic and lethal exotoxin of Aeromonas hydrophila , was analyzed for amino acids. Assuming 8 histidine residues/mol, the purified toxic protein has, by summation, a molecular weight of 49,000, a value in agreement with earlier estimates by other methods.

The channel-forming toxin aerolysin [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992 Aeromonas sp. secrete a precursor of the cytolytic protein aerolysin into the culture medium, where it is activated by proteolytic removal of a C-terminal fragment. Activation can be achieved by a variety of mammalian proteases as well as by proteases released by the bacteria itself. Activated toxin binds with high affinity to the transmembrane protein

Functional Characterization of an Amaranth Natterin-4-Like-1 Gene in Arabidopsis thaliana
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022 The functional characterization of an Amaranthus hypochondriacus Natterin-4-Like-1 gene (AhN4L-1) coding for an unknown function protein characterized by the presence of an aerolysin-like pore-forming domain in addition to two amaranthin-like agglutinin ...

The aerolysin nanopore: from peptidomic to genomic applications [PDF]
Nanoscale, 2018 The aerolysin pore (ARP) is a newly emerging nanopore that is richly charged, extensively used for peptide and protein sensing, as well as DNA sensing by different mechanisms.

Marker exchange mutagenesis of the aerolysin determinant in Aeromonas hydrophila demonstrates the role of aerolysin in A. hydrophila-associated systemic infections [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1987 We report here on the isolation of isogenic strains of Aeromonas hydrophila AB3 deleted for a segment of the aerolysin gene. All aer mutants obtained lacked the 49-kilodalton aerolysin gene product and were neither hemolytic for blood erythrocytes nor cytotoxic for Chinese hamster ovary tissue culture cells.
