Abstract excerpt
ANTXR1 is a type I membrane protein that binds the protective antigen (PA) component of anthrax toxin. The cytosolic domain of ANTXR1 has a novel actin-binding region that influences the interaction of the ectodomain with PA. Here, we have investigated features of the cytosolic domain of ANTXR1 that reduce the association of the receptor with PA. We mutated a stretch of conserved acidic amino acids adjacent to...
