Structural and functional relationships among the RTX toxin determinants of gram-negative bacteria

JG Coote - FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1992 - academic.oup.com
The RTX (repeats in toxin) cytolytic toxins r represent a family of important virulence factors

IS1294, a DNA element that transposes by RC transposition

N Tavakoli, A Comanducci, HM Dodd, MC Lett… - Plasmid, 2000 - Elsevier
IS1294, found on the ColD-like resistance plasmid pUB2380, is IS91-like. It is an active 1.7-

The carboxy-terminal region of haemolysin 2001 is required for secretion of the toxin fromEscherichia coli

L Gray, N Mackman, JM Nicaud, IB Holland - Molecular and General …, 1986 - Springer
As a first step in the detailed analysis of the mechanism of secretion of haemolysin, we
sought to identify sequences or domains within haemolysin A (HlyA) that are essential for its …

Extensive homology between the leukotoxin of Pasteurella haemolytica A1 and the alpha-hemolysin of Escherichia coli

CA Strathdee, RY Lo - Infection and Immunity, 1987 - Am Soc Microbiol
The 19.8-and 101.9-kilodalton leukotoxin proteins of Pasteurella haemolytica (LKTC and

Secretion of Haemolysin by Escherichia coli

N Mackman, JM Nicaud, L Gray, IB Holland - Protein Secretion and Export …, 1986 - Springer
Escherichia coli secretes very few proteins into the culture medium and it is presumed that
the outer membrane constitutes the major barrier to true secretion. The E. coli envelope …
