Citation | Journal: J Am Chem Soc / Year: 2025Title: Aerolysin Nanopore Structures Revealed at High Resolution in a Lipid Environment. Authors: Jana S Anton / Ioan Iacovache / Juan F Bada Juarez / Luciano A Abriata / Louis W Perrin / Chan Cao / Maria J Marcaida / Benoît Zuber / Matteo Dal Peraro / ![]() Abstract: Aerolysin is a β-pore-forming toxin produced by most Aeromonas bacteria, which has attracted large attention in the field of nanopore sensing due to its narrow and charged pore lumen. Structurally ...Aerolysin is a β-pore-forming toxin produced by most Aeromonas bacteria, which has attracted large attention in the field of nanopore sensing due to its narrow and charged pore lumen. Structurally similar proteins, belonging to the aerolysin-like family, are present throughout all kingdoms of life, but very few of them have been structurally characterized in a lipid environment. Here, we present the first high-resolution atomic cryo-EM structures of aerolysin prepore and pore in a membrane-like environment. These structures allow the identification of key interactions, which are relevant for understanding the pore formation mechanism and for correctly positioning the pore β-barrel and its anchoring β-turn motif in the membrane. Moreover, we elucidate at high resolution the architecture of key pore mutations and precisely identify four constriction rings in the pore lumen that are highly relevant for nanopore sensing experiments. | ||||||||||||
