Plasma Membrane Microdomains Act as Concentration Platforms to Facilitate Intoxication by Aerolysin

It has been proposed that the plasma membrane of many cell types contains cholesterol-sphingolipid–rich microdomains. Here, we analyze the role of these microdomains in promoting oligomerization of the bacterial pore-forming toxin aerolysin. Aeroly-sin binds to cells, via glycosyl phosphatidylinosit...
