Acid-induced Dissociation of VacA, the Helicobacter pylori Vacuolating Cytotoxin, Reveals Its Pattern of Assembly
In this study, we describe the ultrastructural changes associated with acid activation of Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA). Purified VacA molecules imaged by deep-etch electron microscopy form ∼30-nm hexagonal “flowers,” each composed of an ∼15-nm central ring surrounded by six ∼6-nm...
