Disulfide-Bond Scanning Reveals Assembly State and β-Strand Tilt Angle of PFO β-Barrel

Perfringolysin O (PFO), a bacterial cholesterol-dependent cytolysin, binds to a mammalian cell membrane, oligomerizes into a circular prepore complex (PPC), and forms a 250-Å transmembrane β-barrel pore in the cell membrane. Each PFO monomer has two sets of 3 short α-helices that unfold and ultimate...
