RTX toxins, characterized by their calcium-binding glycine-rich repeat regions, are known for their ability to disrupt host cell membranes. Although the acylation of specific lysine residues in these toxins is established as crucial for their hemolytic activity, the precise mechanisms underlying this enhancement remain unclear. In this study, we ex...
