ResumoThe complete amino acid sequence of a cytolytic toxin, HmT, isolated from sea anemone Heteractis magnifica was determined. It is composed of 177 amino acid residues and lacks half-cystines. Partial N-terminal sequences of three other cytolysins from Entacmaea quadricolor (EnT) and Stichodactyla mertensii (SmT-1 and SmT-2) were also determined. Comparing these sequences with those of other sea anemone cytolysins, a high degree of homology was observed.
