The post-translationally acylated Repeats in ToXins (RTX) leukotoxins, such as the adenylate cyclase (CyaA) or α-hemolysin (HlyA), bind β2-integrins of leukocytes, but also penetrate cells lacking these receptors. We show that the indole of conserved tryptophans within the acylated segments, e.g. W8...

The Repeats in ToXin (RTX) domain of RTX cytolysins harbors numerous hexacoordinated Ca2+-binding sites that facilitate cooperative and vectorial folding of the RTX β-rolls. Recent study identified Ca2+-binding sites in the acylated N-terminal extension of the RTX domain of Bordetella pertussis aden...

Numerous proteins synthesized in cells ranging from bacteria to humans have to be posttranslationally acylated to become biologically active. Bacterial Repeats in ToXin (RTX) cytolysins form a prominent group of proteins that are synthesized as inactive protoxins and undergo a posttranslational acyl...

The RtxA cytotoxin, a member of the RTX (Repeats in ToXin) family of pore-forming toxins, is the primary virulence factor of the paediatric facultative pathogen Kingella kingae. Although structure-function studies of RTX toxins have defined their characteristic domains and features, the exact membra...
