A bacterial membrane-disrupting protein stimulates animal metamorphosis by Kyle E. Malter, Tiffany L. Dunbar, Carl Westin, Emily Darin, Josefa Rivera Alfaro, Nicholas J. Shikuma

“…Specifically, results show that a bacterial contractile injection system and the protein effector it injects form pores in larval cilia, influencing critical signaling pathways like mitogen-activated protein kinase and calcium flux, ultimately driving animal metamorphosis. This discovery sheds light on how a bacterial protein effector exerts its activity through membrane disruption, a phenomenon observed in various bacterial toxins affecting cellular functions, and elicits a developmental response. …”
