Alpha-toxin is a major virulence factor of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>. Monomer binding to host cell membranes results in the formation of heptameric transmembrane pores. Among human model airway epithelial cell lines, A549 cells were most sensitive toward the toxin followed by 16HBE14o<sup>-</sup> and S9 cells. In this study we investigated the processes of internalization of pore-containing plasma membrane areas as well as potential pathways for heptamer degradation (lysosomal, proteasomal) o ...[more]
