NetB, a Pore-Forming Toxin From Necrotic Enteritis Strains of Clostridium perfringens
Toxins, 2010 The Clostridium perfringens necrotic enteritis B-like toxin (NetB) is a recently discovered member of the β-barrel pore-forming toxin family and is produced by a subset of avian C. perfringens type A strains.

Pore-forming toxins in infection and immunity
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2021The integrity of the plasma membranes is extremely crucial for the survival and proper functioning of the cells. Organisms from all kingdoms of life employ specialized pore-forming proteins and toxins (PFPs and PFTs) that perforate cell membranes, and cause detrimental effects.

Pore-forming toxins in Cnidaria
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2017The ancient phylum of Cnidaria contains many aquatic species with peculiar lifestyle. In order to survive, these organisms have evolved attack and defense mechanisms that are enabled by specialized cells and highly developed venoms. Pore-forming toxins are an important part of their venomous arsenal.

Staphylococcal Pore-Forming Toxins
2001Together with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the most frequently isolated bacteria in routine hospital testing. Like the two other pathogens, S. aureus may synthesize numerous virulence factors, develop multiple resistances to antibiotics, and be responsible for numerous no-socomial infections.

Liposomes in the Study of Pore-Forming Toxins
2003Publisher Summary Liposomes are the most practical and useful model system to study the effects of pore-forming toxins (PFTs) and similar agents. Compared with other systems, such as bilayer lipid membranes BLMs, they may not provide the same level of molecular detail about some specific aspects of the interaction but certainly have the advantage of ...

Clostridial Pore-Forming Toxins: Powerful Virulence Factors [PDF]
Anaerobe, 2014 Pore formation is a common mechanism of action for many bacterial toxins. More than one third of clostridial toxins are pore-forming toxins (PFTs) belonging to the β-PFT class. They are secreted as soluble monomers rich in β-strands, which recognize a specific receptor on target cells and assemble in oligomers.

Pore-Forming Protein Toxins: From Structure to Function
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2005 Pore-forming protein toxins (PFTs) are one of Nature's most potent biological weapons. An essential feature of their toxicity is the remarkable property that PFTs can exist either in a stable water-soluble state or as an integral membrane pore. In order to convert from the water-soluble to the membrane state, the toxin must undergo large conformational

Staphylococcus aureus Pore-Forming Toxins
2016Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a formidable foe equipped with an armamentarium of virulence factors to thwart host defenses and establish a successful infection. Among these virulence factors, S. aureus produces several potent secreted proteins that act as cytotoxins, predominant among them the beta-barrel pore-forming toxins.

Serratia Type Pore Forming Toxins
Current Protein & Peptide Science, 2000The Serratia marcescens hemolysin represents a new type of hemolysin and has been studied in great molecular detail with regard to structure, activation and secretion. It has nothing in common with the pore forming toxins of E. coli type (RTX toxins), the Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin or the thiol activated toxin of group A beta-hemolytic ...

Lysenin: A sphingomyelin specific pore-forming toxin
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2008Sphingomyelin is a major sphingolipid in mammalian cells. Recent results indicate that sphingomyelin is a reservoir of lipid second messengers, ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate. Sphingomyelin is also a major component of sphingolipid and cholesterol-rich membrane domains (lipid rafts).
