Abstract excerpt
Pertussis toxin is a member of the AB(5) family of toxins and is composed of five subunits (S1 to S5) present in a 1:1:1:2:1 ratio. Secretion is a complex process. Each subunit has a secretion signal that mediates transport to the periplasm, where processing and assembly occur. Secretion of the assembled 105-kDa toxin past the outer membrane is mediated by the nine proteins encoded in the ptl operon. Previous...
