Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

Contributions of the pore-forming toxin Listeriolysin O to Listeria monocytogenes pathogenesis [PDF]
, 2019 Listeriolysin O (LLO) is an essential determinant of Listeria monocytogenes pathogenesis that mediates the escape of L. monocytogenes from host cell vacuoles, thereby allowing replication in the cytosol without causing appreciable cell death. As a member

Cholesterol-Dependent Cytolysins
, 2010 The cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) are part of a large family of pore-forming proteins that include the human proteins perforin and the complement membrane attack complex. The activity of all family members is focused on membranes, but the proteins are themselves involved in a diverse range of phenomena.

The enterococcal cytolysin synthetase has an unanticipated lipid kinase fold
eLife, 2015 The enterococcal cytolysin is a virulence factor consisting of two post-translationally modified peptides that synergistically kill human immune cells. Both peptides are made by CylM, a member of the LanM lanthipeptide synthetases.
