Bacterial alpha-hemolysin toxin C015 / 7067
Bacterial alpha-hemolysin toxin, molecular model. This toxin is secreted by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. It is an example of a pore-forming toxin, forming pores in the membranes of affected cells, damaging or killing them (making it a cytolytic protein). This toxin forms a heptameric (seven-part) transmembrane pore. Seven protein chains form the outer beta barrel-type pore, with an inner, smaller barrel inside the outer one. The overall structure is mushroom-shaped

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Bacterial alpha-hemolysin toxin C015/7067, secreted by the notorious bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. With a white background accentuating its striking features, this illustration delves into the world of biology and microbiology. As a pore-forming toxin, this alpha-hemolysin wreaks havoc on affected cells by forming pores in their membranes. This destructive action leads to cell damage or even death, making it a cytolytic protein with immense significance in understanding bacterial pathogenesis. The heptameric transmembrane pore is at the heart of this toxin's mechanism. Comprising seven protein chains that form an outer beta barrel-type pore, there is also an inner smaller barrel nestled within it. The resulting mushroom-shaped structure adds to its visual appeal while highlighting its functional complexity. With applications ranging from biochemistry and proteomics to molecular biology and structural biology, this artwork serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying bacterial toxins and their impact on cellular processes. Its detailed portrayal offers insights into the mechanisms employed by bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus to manipulate host cells for survival and proliferation. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured this scientific marvel through their skillful graphic representation. By presenting us with such visually stunning prints like these, they contribute immensely to our understanding of biological macromolecules and inspire further exploration in the field of microbiology.
