1.C.12.1.4
Streptolysin O, SLO or SpyM3, (transports NAD-glycohydrolase into the host cell) (Meehl and Caparon, 2004).  Injections into cells modulates cell metabolism which induces streptolysin synthesis and S. pyogenes growth (Baruch et al. 2014). This sulfhydryl-activated toxin causes cytolysis by forming pores in cholesterol containing host membranes. After binding to target membranes, the protein undergoes a major conformation change, leading to its insertion. The domino-like prepore-to-pore transition of Streptolysin O has been visualized (Ariyama 2022).
