Abstract excerpt
Translocation of the catalytic domain of diphtheria toxin (DT) across the endosomal membrane to the cytoplasm of mammalian cells requires the low-pH-dependent insertion of a hydrophobic helical hairpin (TH8-TH9) that is buried within the T domain of the native protein. Mutations of Pro345, which...
