Structure and mechanism of the two-component α-helical pore-forming toxin YaxAB

The Yersinia YaxAB system is a pore-forming toxin of so far unknown structure. Here authors present X-ray and cryo-EM to structures of individual subunits and of the YaxAB pore complex, and find that YaxA binds to membranes first and recruits YaxB for subsequent oligomerization.
