Manipulating the Lewis antigen specificity of the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin lectinolysin

The cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) attack cells by punching large holes in their membranes. Lectinolysin from Streptococcus mitis is unique among CDCs due to the presence of an N-terminal lectin domain that enhances the pore-forming activity of the toxin.
