Listeriolysin O (LLO) and pneumolysin (PLY) are two bacterial protein toxins from the family of cholesterol dependent cytolysins (CDC) that are produced by Listeria monocytogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae, respectively. The toxins are found in all clinically relevant bacterial isolates, highlighting their importance for the virulence of these bacterial pathogens. Both LLO and PLY generate pores in the plasma membrane of host cells. High toxin concentrations directly lyse affected cells, while lower (sublytic) concentrations trigger an influx of extracellular calcium ions (Ca2+) into the cytoplasm. Ca2+ is an important intracellular second messenger. An increase in its cytoplasmic concentration ([Ca2+]i) results in the activation of signa...
