Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) is a holotoxin which consists of one A and five B subunits. Although B subunit monomers released into periplasm can associate into pentameric structures in the absence of the A subunit, the A subunit accelerates the assembly. To express the function, A subunit constructs the proper spatial structure. However, the regions involved in the construction are unknown. To...
