[[1QOY]] is a monomer from the dodecameric pore-forming toxin (PFT) from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_coli ''Escherichia coli'']. It is a 34kDa protein comprised of four alpha helicies, a smaller fifth alpha helix, and a <font color="purple">beta tongue</font>. 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. | [[1QOY]] is a monomer from the dodecameric pore-forming toxin (PFT) from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_coli ''Escherichia coli''].
