The pore structure of Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin

Epsilon toxin (Etx) is a potent pore forming toxin (PFT) produced by Clostridium perfringens. Here authors show the cryo-EM structure of the Etx pore assembled on the membrane of susceptible cells and shed light on pore formation and mutant phenotypes.
