Region Met225 to Ile412 of Hemolysin II Is Capable to Agglutinate Red Blood Cells.

Hemolysin II (HlyII) is one of the virulence factors of the opportunistic bacterium belonging to the group of β-pore-forming toxins. This work created a genetic construct encoding a large C-terminal fragment of the toxin (HlyIILCTD, M225-I412 according to the numbering of amino acid residues in HlyII). A soluble form of HlyIILCTD was obtained using the SlyD chaperone protein.
