[[1QOY]] is a 34 kDa monomer from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_coli ''Escherichia coli''] (''E. coli''). It is an alpha-PFT comprised of four alpha helicies, a smaller fifth alpha helix, and a <B><font color="purple">beta tongue</font></B>. The <B><font color="blue">N-terminus</font></B> and the <B><font color="red">C-terminus</font></B> are highlighted. ClyA has been shown to form pores through a non-classical assembly pathway, excreted in oligomeric form in outer-membrane vesicles (OMV) as pre-pores. Only until ClyA reaches the target host membrane does it form the dodecameric PFT with hemolytic activity, possessing the ability to lyse the host cell.
