| PF18807 | Tripartite Tc toxins repeat | family |
Tripartite Tc toxin complexes of bacterial pathogens perforate the host membrane and translocate toxic enzymes into the host cell. These structures undergo a transition between a prepore to a pore state [1] and they are mainly constituted by closed beta-layer repeats. This Pfam entry includes a single repeat unit.
