Subunit composition of a bicomponent toxin: staphylococcal leukocidin forms an octameric transmembrane pore.
Staphylococcal leukocidin pores are formed by the obligatory interaction of two distinct polypeptides, one of class F and one of class S, making them unique in the family of beta-barrel pore-forming toxins (beta-PFTs). By contrast, other beta-PFTs form homo-oligomeric pores; for example, the staphyl...
