Microbiology. Arresting features of bacterial toxins.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 13 Oct 2000

Coburn J, Leong J M

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria produce an arsenal of sophisticated toxins that disrupt the normal processes of the host cell, usually by modifying or inactivating host cell proteins. Now, as Coburn and Leong discuss in their Perspective, members of the cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) family have been identified as enzymes that attack DNA (and not protein) within the host cell (Lara-Tejero and Galán). By attacking DNA, perhaps during...
