Abstract
YenTcA is the pore-forming and membrane binding subunit of the ABC toxin YenTc, which is produced by the insect pathogen Yersinia entomophaga. Here authors present cryo-EM structures of YenTcA purified from the native source which implicate associated endochitinases in host cell recognition.
