Formation of pre-pore complexes of pneumolysin is accompanied by a decrease in short-range order of lipid molecules throughout vesicle bilayers

Oligomers of pneumolysin form transmembrane channels in cholesterol-containing lipid bilayers. The mechanism of pore formation involves a multistage process in which the protein, at first, assembles into a ring-shaped complex on the outer-bilayer leaflet. In a subsequent step, the complex inserts in...
