Outer-membrane vesicles (OMVs) containing the pore-forming toxin Hemolysin E (HlyE; aka cytolysin A, ClyA; aka silent haemolysin, SheA) are constantly being discharged from the surface of HlyE-expressing E. coli during bacterial growth. HlyE binds cholesterol, and pore formation by oligomeric assemblies of HlyE in a membrane is stimulated if the membrane contains cholesterol. After the OMVs fuse with host epithelial cells, the pore causes leakage and destruction of these cells, contributing to pathogenicity. Destroyed erythrocytes release hemoglobin which is subsequently cleaved by proteases, making host iron available to the bacterium. The exact mechanism of OMV formation is unclear (Oscarsson et al., 1999; Lai et al., 2000; Wai et al., 2003; Ludwig et al., 2004; reviewed in Roderer & Glockshuber, 2016).
