Cytotoxin B, TcdB. The minimal pore-forming region is within amino acid residues 830 and 990 including glutamate-970 and glutamate-976. These two residues are essential for pore formation (Genisyuerek et al., 2011).  Other residues important for toxicity have been identified (Zhang et al. 2014).  Residues in the translocation domain of TcdB that form the pore and function in toxin translocation have been identified (Hamza et al. 2016).

RTX (repeat in toxin) cytotoxin of 5206 aas, also called the "multifunctional-autoprocessing RTX" (MARTXVv) toxin, or Vibrio vulnificus cytotoxin (VVC).  It exists in at least four distinct variants of the rtxA1 gene that encode toxins with different arrangements of effector domains that arose by recombination.  VVC, in addition to being a pore-forming toxin, may be a transmembrane toxin with the ability to induce apoptosis in human vascular endothelial cells and tumor cells (Zhao et al. 2009). The protein has an α,β-hydrolase domain (residues ~2900 - 3120).

Multifunctional-autoprocessing repeats-in-toxin, RtxA or Rtx, of 4558 aas. It is the precursor of a multifunctional toxin that causes destruction of the actin cytoskeleton by covalent cross-linking of actin and inactivation of Rho GTPases when translocated into the host cytoplasm (Satchell 2015). Upon translocation into the host cell, it undergoes autoprocessing in cis mediated by the peptidase C80 domain (also named CPD domain). The protease activity is activated upon binding inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6), present at the host cell membrane, delivering the cysteine protease domain-containing toxin F3 chain to the host cytosol (Sheahan et al. 2007, Shen et al. 2009). It forms a pore in the plasma membrane of a eukaryotic cell to deliver the toxin (Woida and Satchell 2018).
