The ''Clostridium tetani'' precursor polypeptide is cleaved during cell autolysis into a heavy and light chains. These two chains remain linked by a disulfide bridge. These chains are non-toxic when separated. | The ''Clostridium tetani'' precursor polypeptide is cleaved during cell autolysis into a heavy and light chains.
