Nucleotide sequence of the gene for the hole-forming toxin aerolysin of Aeromonas hydrophila

J Bacteriol. 1987 Jun;169(6):2869-71. doi: 10.1128/jb.169.6.2869-2871.1987.

Abstract

The gene for the hole-forming toxin aerolysin from Aeromonas hydrophila was sequenced. Although most of the sequence seems unrelated to that of Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin, both proteins are very hydrophilic, and they each contain a nearly identical string of 10 amino acids.
