The conserved undecapeptide shared by thiol-activated cytolysins is involved in membrane binding.
description:
This conserved sequence is present in thiol-activated pore-forming cytolysins produced by several species of Gram-positive bacteria.
Binding of epitope-specific mAb PLY-5 to SLO prevented the binding of SLO to sheep RBC and neutralized its hemolytic activity.
