RTX C-terminal domain This family describes the C-terminal region of various bacterial haemolysins and leukotoxins, which belong to the RTX family of toxins. These are produced by various Gram negative bacteria, such as E. coli and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. RTX toxins may interact with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to functionally impair and eventually kill leukocytes. This region is found in association with the RTX N-terminal domain (pfam02382) and multiple hemolysin-type calcium-binding repeats (pfam00353).
