Repair of a Bacterial Small β-Barrel Toxin Pore Depends on Channel Width

Repair of a Bacterial Small β-Barrel Toxin Pore Depends on Channel Width

ABSTRACT Membrane repair emerges as an innate defense protecting target cells against bacterial pore-forming toxins. Here, we report the first paradigm of Ca2+-dependent repair following attack by a small β-pore-forming toxin, namely, plasmid-encoded phobalysin of Photobacterium damselae subsp. dams...
