The protussis toxin is a AB5 toxin consisting of a six-component protein complex. With that in mind, this protein is a hexamer containing a catalytic (S1) subunit that is tightly associated with the pentameric cell-binding component (B-oligomer). The S1 component is a single subunit <scene name='Pertussis_Toxin-ATP_Complex/Subunit_1/3'>S1 (chains A,G)</scene> while the B-oligomer is a pentamer composed of four types of subunits: <scene name='Pertussis_Toxin-ATP_Complex/Subunit_2/3'>chains H | The protussis toxin is a AB5 toxin consisting of a six-component protein complex.
