Membrane proteins (MPs) are essential for cellular functions. Understanding the functions of
MPs is crucial as they constitute an important class of drug targets. However, MPs are a …

Folding of the RTX domain (Repeats-in-toxin) of the bacterial adenylate cyclase toxin-
hemolysin (CyaA) is critical to its toxin activities and the virulence of the whooping cough …

The Gram-negative bacterium Bordetella pertussis is the cause of whooping cough. One of
its pathogenicity factors is the adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) secreted by a Type I export …

The molecular mechanisms and forces involved in the translocation of bacterial toxins into
host cells are still a matter of intense research. The adenylate cyclase (CyaA) toxin from …

The whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis secretes an adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA)
that through its large carboxy-proximal Repeat-in-ToXin (RTX) domain binds the …

Methylobacterium and Methylorubrum species oxidize methanol via pyrroloquinoline
