Citation | Journal: Sci Adv / Year: 2025Title: Structural basis for the pore-forming activity of a complement-like toxin. Authors: Bronte A Johnstone / Michelle P Christie / Riya Joseph / Craig J Morton / Hamish G Brown / Eric Hanssen / Tristan C Sanford / Hunter L Abrahamsen / Rodney K Tweten / Michael W Parker / ![]() Abstract: Pore-forming proteins comprise a highly diverse group of proteins exemplified by the membrane attack complex/perforin (MACPF), cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC), and gasdermin superfamilies, ...Pore-forming proteins comprise a highly diverse group of proteins exemplified by the membrane attack complex/perforin (MACPF), cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC), and gasdermin superfamilies, which all form gigantic pores (>150 angstroms). A recently found family of pore-forming toxins, called CDC-like proteins (CDCLs), are wide-spread in gut microbes and are a prevalent means of antibacterial antagonism. However, the structural aspects of how CDCLs assemble a pore remain a mystery. Here, we report the crystal structure of a proteolytically activated CDCL and cryo-electron microscopy structures of a prepore-like intermediate and a transmembrane pore providing detailed snapshots across the entire pore-forming pathway. These studies reveal a sophisticated array of regulatory features to ensure productive pore formation, and, thus, CDCLs straddle the MACPF, CDC, and gasdermin lineages of the giant pore superfamilies. | ||||||||||||
