C. perfringens enterotoxin-claudin pore complex: Models for structure, mechanism of pore assembly and cation permeability
The pore-forming Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE), a common cause of foodborne diseases, facilitates Ca2+ influx in enterocytes, leading to cell damage. Upon binding to certain claudins (e.g., claudin-4), CPE forms oligomeric pores in the cell membrane. While the mechanism of CPE-claudin in...
