Crystal Structure of Hemolysin binding component from Bacillus cereusCrystal Structure of Hemolysin binding component from Bacillus cereus
Structural highlights
FunctionHBLA_BACCE Cytotoxic protein, part of the enterotoxin complex. Responsible for binding to erythrocytes. This enterotoxin is thought to be the cause of the diarrheal form of gastroenteritis caused by food-borne strains of B.cereus. Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedBacillus cereus Hemolysin BL enterotoxin, a ternary complex of three proteins, is the causative agent of food poisoning and requires all three components for virulence. The X-ray structure of the binding domain of HBL suggests that it may form a pore similar to other soluble channel forming proteins. A putative pathway of pore formation is discussed.
