1.55 ANGSTROM CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF WILD TYPE DIPHTHERIA TOXIN
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
FunctionDTX_CORBE Diphtheria toxin, produced by a phage infecting Corynebacterium diphtheriae, is a proenzyme that, after activation, catalyzes the covalent attachment of the ADP ribose moiety of NAD to eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF-2). Fragment A is the catalytic portion responsible for enzymatic ADP-ribosylation of elongation factor 2, while fragment B is responsible for binding of toxin to cell receptors and entry of fragment A.[1] [2] See AlsoReferences
