Effects of the eukaryotic pore-forming cytolysin Equinatoxin II on lipid membranes and the role of sphingomyelin.
Equinatoxin II (EqtII), a protein toxin from the sea anemone Actinia equina, readily creates pores in sphingomyelin-containing lipid membranes. The perturbation by EqtII of model lipid membranes composed of dimyristoylphosphatidycholine and sphingomyelin (10 mol %) was investigated using wideline ph...
