Membrane Permeabilization by <i>Bordetella</i> Adenylate Cyclase Toxin Involves Pores of Tunable Size

Membrane Permeabilization by <i>Bordetella</i> Adenylate Cyclase Toxin Involves Pores of Tunable Size

RTX (Repeats in ToXin) pore-forming toxins constitute an expanding family of exoproteins secreted by many <i>Gram</i>-negative bacteria and involved in infectious diseases caused by said pathogens. Despite the relevance in the host/pathogen interactions, the structure and characteristics...
