Structure-Function Analysis of Inositol Hexakisphosphate-induced Autoprocessing of the Vibrio cholerae Multifunctional Autoprocessing RTX Toxin
1 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Vibrio cholerae secretes a large virulence-associated multifunctional autoprocessing RTX toxin (MARTX(Vc)). Autoprocessing of this toxin by an embedded cysteine protease domain (CPD) is essential for this toxin to induce actin depolymerization in a broad range of cell types. A homologous CPD is also present in the large clostridial toxin TcdB and recent studies showed that inositol hexakisphosphate...
