The findings of PT activation was significant since it illustrated a better understanding for the pathogenesis of the toxin. The key features of this proposal is that ATP binding signals the arrival of the PT in the endoplasmic reticulum by acting as a molecular sensor.<ref name=Hazes>PMID: 8637000</ref> This detection of the PT in the ER at the same time triggers dissociation of the holotoxin prior to membrane translocation.<ref name=Hazes>PMID: 8637000</ref> Therefore, the dissociation is due to ATP binding destabilization | The findings of PT activation was significant since it illustrated a better understanding for the pathogenesis of the toxin.
