Authors: Peter Njenga Ng'ang'a / Julian Folz / Svetlana Kucher / Daniel Roderer / Ying Xu / Oleg Sitsel / Alexander Belyy / Daniel Prumbaum / Ralf Kühnemuth / Tufa E Assafa / Min Dong / Claus A M ...Authors: Peter Njenga Ng'ang'a / Julian Folz / Svetlana Kucher / Daniel Roderer / Ying Xu / Oleg Sitsel / Alexander Belyy / Daniel Prumbaum / Ralf Kühnemuth / Tufa E Assafa / Min Dong / Claus A M Seidel / Enrica Bordignon / Stefan Raunser / ![]() Abstract: Tc toxins are pore-forming virulence factors of many pathogenic bacteria. Following pH-induced conformational changes, they perforate the target membrane like a syringe to translocate toxic enzymes ...Tc toxins are pore-forming virulence factors of many pathogenic bacteria. Following pH-induced conformational changes, they perforate the target membrane like a syringe to translocate toxic enzymes into a cell. Although this complex transformation has been structurally well studied, the reaction pathway and the resulting temporal evolution have remained elusive. We used an integrated biophysical approach to monitor prepore-to-pore transition and found a reaction time of ~30 hours for a complete transition. We show two asynchronous general steps of the process, shell opening and channel ejection, with the overall reaction pathway being a slow multistep process involving three intermediates. Liposomes, an increasingly high pH, or receptors facilitate shell opening, which is directly correlated with an increased rate of the prepore-to-pore transition. Channel ejection is a near-instantaneous process which occurs with a transition time of <60 milliseconds. Understanding the mechanism of action of Tc toxins and unveiling modulators of the kinetics are key steps toward their application as biomedical devices or biopesticides. | ||||||
