Mode of primary binding to target membranes and pore formation induced by Vibrio cholerae cytolysin (hemolysin)

Key Points

• Pore formation is induced by Vibrio cholerae cytolysin, impacting membrane integrity.
• Electron microscopy reveals structural details of membrane binding and interactions.
• Assessment of cytolysin’s binding shows its critical role in hemolytic activity.
• Understanding these mechanisms may help in developing treatments for infections.
