| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
CEL-III is a hemolytic lectin from C. echinata and performs as a pore-forming toxin. Structural analysis of pore-forming CEL-III complex was carried out to elucidate its pore-formation mechanism. A crystal structure of the CEL-III complex was determined at 2.9 angstrom resolution. A detail of pore-forming mechanism of the CEL-III was clarified by the structural analysis.
