Crystal Structure of Hcp from Acinetobacter baumannii: A Component of the Type VI Secretion System. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a bacterial macromolecular machine widely distributed in Gram-negative bacteria, which transports effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells or other bacteria.

Leptospiral TlyC is an extracellular matrix‐binding protein and does not present hemolysin activity [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2009 The role of TlyA, TlyB and TlyC proteins in the biology of Leptospira is still uncertain. Although these proteins have been considered as putative hemolysins, we demonstrate that leptospiral recombinant TlyB and TlyC do not possess hemolytic activity.

Electrostatic Control of Polymer Translocation Speed through α-Hemolysin Protein Pore [PDF]
Macromolecules, 2016 The electrostatic origins behind the speed of translocation of a uniformly charged flexible macromolecule through α-hemolysin (αHL) protein pores under a voltage are investigated using variations in pH and electrolyte concentration. We have measured durations of successful threading of poly(styrenesulfonate) through αHL at two different pH conditions ...

Pore-Forming Toxin-Like Proteins in the Anti-Parasitoid Immune Response of Drosophila
Journal of Innate ImmunityIntroduction: Species of the ananassae subgroup of Drosophilidae are highly resistant to parasitoid wasp infections. We have previously shown that the genes encoding cytolethal distending toxin B (CdtB) and the apoptosis inducing protein of 56
