CC   -!- FUNCTION: Secreted, cytolytic toxin that forms pores in host membranes
CC       after proteolytic removal of a C-terminal propeptide, leading to
CC       destruction of the membrane permeability barrier and cell death. The
CC       pores are formed by transmembrane beta-strands and are approximately 3
CC       nm in diameter (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer in solution; homoheptamer in the host membrane.
CC       After binding to GPI-anchored proteins in target membranes and
CC       proteolytic removal of the C-terminal propeptide, the protein assembles
CC       into a heptameric pre-pore complex. A further conformation change leads
CC       to insertion into the host membrane (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2459581}. Host cell
CC       membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2459581}. Note=Secreted as a soluble
CC       precursor.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: The C-terminal propeptide is required for normal protein
CC       folding and secretion; it maintains the aerolysin precursor in its
CC       soluble form and prevents premature heptamerization and pore formation.
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- PTM: Proteolytic cleavage and subsequent release of the propeptide
CC       trigger a major conformation change, leading to the formation of a
CC       heptameric pre-pore that then inserts into the host membrane.
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the aerolysin family. {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- CAUTION: Was originally thought to originate from A.sobria.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
