Function

Alpha-toxin binds to the membrane of eukaryotic cells (particularly red blood cells, RBC) forming pores, resulting in hemolysis, with the release of low-molecular weight molecules leading to eventual osmotic RBC lysis. Human RBCs bind much less alpha-toxin than do rabbit RBCs. Heptamer oligomerization and pore formation is required for lytic activity.

Alpha-toxin binds to the membrane of eukaryotic cells (particularly red blood cells, RBC) forming pores, resulting in hemolysis, with the release of low-molecular weight molecules leading to eventual osmotic RBC lysis (PubMed:1587866, PubMed:20624979). Human RBCs bind much less alpha-toxin than do rabbit RBCs (PubMed:1587866, PubMed:20624979). Heptamer oligomerization and pore formation is required for lytic activity (PubMed:1587866, PubMed:20624979)

Subunit

Self-assembles to first form a non-lytic oligomeric intermediate, and then, a mushroom-shaped homoheptamer structure of 100 Angstroms in length and up to 100 Angstroms in diameter (Probable) (PubMed:8943190). Interacts with human ADAM10; this interaction is required for toxin pore formation, disruption of focal adhesions, and hly-mediated cytotoxicity (PubMed:20624979)
