Helix N-Cap Residues Drive the Acid Unfolding That Is Essential in the Action of the Toxin Colicin A

[Image: see text] Numerous bacterial toxins and other virulence factors use low pH as a trigger to convert from water-soluble to membrane-inserted states. In the case of colicins, the pore-forming domain of colicin A (ColA-P) has been shown both to undergo a clear acidic unfolding transition and to...
