PFM_aerolysin cd20218
pore-forming module of aerolysin and similar aerolysin-type beta-barrel pore-forming proteins; ...
179-314 3.21e-68

pore-forming module of aerolysin and similar aerolysin-type beta-barrel pore-forming proteins; Aerolysin is a cytosolic bacterial toxin that forms pores in the host membrane, leading to destruction of the membrane permeability barrier and host cell death. Another member of this family is alpha-toxin from Clostridium septicum, the main virulence factor of this bacterium, known for causing non-traumatic gas gangrene. Many proteins belonging to this group have an N-terminal APT domain; an APT domain is the N-terminal domain of aerolysin and pertussis toxin and has a type-C lectin-like fold. Members of this group belong to the aerolysin family of beta-pore-forming proteins (beta-PFPs). PFPs are generally secreted as water-soluble monomers, which upon binding to target lipid membranes, oligomerize and form transmembrane pores harmful to cells. Beta-PFPs form pores by transmembrane beta-barrels. Aerolysin-type beta-PFPs are believed to use an amphipathic beta-hairpin to form the beta-barrel, are found in all kingdoms of life and many are bacterial toxins. In addition to having a role in microbial infection, they have potential as biotechnological sensors and delivery systems. They share a similar monomeric architecture, with a variable membrane-binding domain and a structurally conserved pore-forming region. A significant portion of the monomeric subunit structure is re-organized to form the pore. Oligomers formed by members of the aerolysin family include: hepta- (aerolysin), octa- (Dln1), and nonameric oligomers (lysenin and monalysin).

179-314 3.21e-68

pore-forming module of aerolysin and similar aerolysin-type beta-barrel pore-forming proteins; Aerolysin is a cytosolic bacterial toxin that forms pores in the host membrane, leading to destruction of the membrane permeability barrier and host cell death. Another member of this family is alpha-toxin from Clostridium septicum, the main virulence factor of this bacterium, known for causing non-traumatic gas gangrene. Many proteins belonging to this group have an N-terminal APT domain; an APT domain is the N-terminal domain of aerolysin and pertussis toxin and has a type-C lectin-like fold. Members of this group belong to the aerolysin family of beta-pore-forming proteins (beta-PFPs). PFPs are generally secreted as water-soluble monomers, which upon binding to target lipid membranes, oligomerize and form transmembrane pores harmful to cells. Beta-PFPs form pores by transmembrane beta-barrels. Aerolysin-type beta-PFPs are believed to use an amphipathic beta-hairpin to form the beta-barrel, are found in all kingdoms of life and many are bacterial toxins. In addition to having a role in microbial infection, they have potential as biotechnological sensors and delivery systems. They share a similar monomeric architecture, with a variable membrane-binding domain and a structurally conserved pore-forming region. A significant portion of the monomeric subunit structure is re-organized to form the pore. Oligomers formed by members of the aerolysin family include: hepta- (aerolysin), octa- (Dln1), and nonameric oligomers (lysenin and monalysin).

It forms a heptamer in the lipid rafts of Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells, leading to cell death; its oligomer formation is induced by activation of neutral sphingomyelinase. This group also includes an insecticidal crystal protein Cry14-4 (encoded on plasmid pBMBt1 of Bacillus thuringiensis serovar darmstadiensis). Also included is pXO2-60 (a protein from the pathogenic pXO2 plasmid of Bacillus anthracis) which harbors a unique ubiquitin-like fold domain at the C-terminus of the aerolysin-like domain, and is involved in virulence.

pore-forming module of parasporin-2, hydralysin and similar aerolysin-type beta-barrel pore-forming proteins; Bacillus thuringiensis strain A1547 parasporin-2 (PS2, also named Cry46Aa1) is an anti-cancer protein which causes specific cell damage via PS2 oligomerization in the cell membrane. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins may be involved in the cytocidal action of PS2 as co-receptors for PS2's cytocidal action. This family also includes hydralysin (Hln-1) and Hln-2 produced by the green hydra Chlorohydra viridissima. Hydralysin is a paralysis-inducing protein not found in the stinging cells (nematocytes), with a cell type-selective cytolytic activity; it binds erythrocyte membranes and forms discrete pores. They belong to the aerolysin family of beta-pore-forming proteins (beta-PFPs). PFPs are generally secreted as water-soluble monomers, which upon binding to target lipid membranes, oligomerize and form transmembrane pores harmful to cells. Beta-PFPs form pores by transmembrane beta-barrels.

pore-forming module of Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal Cry51A toxin, Bacillus thuringiensis cytotoxic parasporin-5 and similar aerolysin-type beta-barrel pore-forming proteins; Bacillus thuringiensis parasporin-5 has strong cytocidal activity against several types of cancer cells and may or may not have insecticidal activity. Cry51A toxin is toxic to coleopteran (beetle) larvae. Other members of this family include Bacillus thuringiensis Cry15Aa which is toxic to lepidopteran (butterflies and moth) larvae. They belong to the aerolysin family of beta-pore-forming proteins (beta-PFPs). PFPs are generally secreted as water-soluble monomers, which upon binding to target lipid membranes, oligomerize and form transmembrane pores harmful to cells. Beta-PFPs form pores by transmembrane beta-barrels. Aerolysin-type beta-PFPs are believed to use an amphipathic beta-hairpin to form the beta-barrel, are found in all kingdoms of life and many are bacterial toxins. In addition to having a role in microbial infection, they have potential as biotechnological sensors and delivery systems. They share a similar monomeric architecture, with a variable membrane-binding domain and a structurally conserved pore-forming region. A significant portion of the monomeric subunit structure is re-organized to form the pore. Oligomers formed by members of the aerolysin family include: hepta- (aerolysin), octa- (Dln1), and nonameric oligomers (lysenin and monalysin).

pore-forming module of wheat HFR-2 toxin, FEM32, and similar aerolysin-type beta-barrel pore-forming proteins; HFR-2 is a wheat cytolytic toxin which may normally function in defense against certain insects or pathogens. The Hfr-2 gene is upregulated in virulent Hessian fly larval feedingdouble dagger. The HFR-2 protein may insert in plant cell membranes at the feeding sites and by forming pores provide water, ions and other small nutritive molecules to the developing larvae. This group also contains FEM32, a flower-specific lectin-like protein from the dioecious plant Rumex acetosa, which alters flower development and induces male sterility in transgenic tobacco. It has been suggested that the FEM32 gene activates some form of programmed cell death (PCD), a process that could be mediated by the action of its lectin domains for binding to specific glycoproteins on the cell membrane and facilitated by the formation of pore structures in the membranes and the subsequent leakage of the cytosolic content through its pore-forming aerolysin domain. Most proteins belonging to this group have N-terminal agglutatin (also known as amaranthin) lectin domains; most have two agglutatin domains, in combination with one aerolysin domain. Members of this group belong to the aerolysin family of beta-pore-forming proteins (beta-PFPs). PFPs are generally secreted as water-soluble monomers, which upon binding to target lipid membranes, oligomerize and form transmembrane pores harmful to cells. Beta-PFPs form pores by transmembrane beta-barrels. Aerolysin-type beta-PFPs are believed to use an amphipathic beta-hairpin to form the beta-barrel, are found in all kingdoms of life and many are bacterial toxins. In addition to having a role in microbial infection, they have potential as biotechnological sensors and delivery systems.

A significant portion of the monomeric subunit structure is re-organized to form the pore. Oligomers formed by members of the aerolysin family include: hepta- (aerolysin), octa- (Dln1), and nonameric oligomers (lysenin and monalysin).
