[http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Pore_forming_toxin,_%CE%B1-hemolysin Alpha hemolysin] causes a partial lysis of red blood cells. The heptameric pore assembles from water-soluble subunits. The alpha subunit, depicted right, consists seven identical monomeric units that exhibit rotational symmetry in oligomerized form. Each distinct subunit is differently colored for easy identification. The beta-barrel transmembrane domain is 50 Å in length. <ref>http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/hemolysin/<ref> | [http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Pore_forming_toxin,_%CE%B1-hemolysin Alpha hemolysin] causes a partial lysis of red blood cells.

Pore-forming toxins have been shown to closely relate to the pathogenicity of the toxin-producing organism. <ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1930675<ref> Both gram positive and gram negative bacteria are producers of hemolysins, as well as some clinically relevant fungi. Toxin secretion facillitates the availability of water, ions, and small molecules like sugar for the secreting pathogen. Hemolysin producing pathogen are identified by their ability to lyse cells in vitro. <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolysin<ref> | Pore-forming toxins have been shown to closely relate to the pathogenicity of the toxin-producing organism. <ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1930675</ref> Both gram positive and gram negative bacteria are producers of hemolysins, as well as some clinically relevant fungi.
