Assembly and function of a bacterial genotoxin.

Nature - 27 May 2004

Nesić Dragana, Hsu Yun, Stebbins C Erec

Abstract excerpt

The tripartite cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in eukaryotic cells. The subunits CdtA and CdtC associate with the nuclease CdtB to form a holotoxin that translocates CdtB into the host cell, where it acts as a genotoxin by creating DNA lesions. Here we show that the crystal structure of the holotoxin from Haemophilus ducreyi reveals that CDT consists of an enzyme of the...
