Pore-forming Esx proteins mediate toxin secretion by Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Tuberculosis necrotizing toxin (TNT) is secreted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis to kill host cells. Here, Tak, Dokland and Niederweis show that proteins EsxE and EsxF form membrane-spanning hetero-oligomeric pores that are important for TNT secretion.
