Bacillus cereus Hemolysin BL enterotoxin, a ternary complex of three proteins, is the causative agent of food poisoning and requires all three components for virulence. The X-ray structure of the binding domain of HBL suggests that it may form a pore similar to other soluble channel forming proteins. A putative pathway of pore formation is discussed.
蜡样芽孢杆菌溶血素BL肠毒素是一种由三种蛋白质组成的三元复合物,是食物中毒的病原体,其毒性需要所有三种成分。HBL结合结构域的X射线结构表明,它可能形成一个类似于其他可溶性通道形成蛋白的孔。文中讨论了一种假定的孔形成途径。
