The most clinically important bacterium with such a system is Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium). The CDTa and CDTb proteins from its system represent important therapeutic targets. CDTb has been proposed to be a di-heptamer, but its physiological heptameric structure has not yet been reported. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of CDTa bound to the CDTb-pore, which reveals that CDTa binding induces partial unfolding and tilting of the first CDTa alpha-helix. In the CDTb-pore, an NSS-loop exists in 'in' and 'out' conformations, suggesting its involvement in substrate translocation. Finally, 3D variability analysis revealed CDTa movements from a folded to an unfolded state. These dynamic structural information provide insights into drug design against hypervirulent C. difficile strains.
