Subunits A and B are encoded for by (stxA2 + stx2A + L0103) and (stxB2 + stx2B + L0104) respectively. It has been suggested by some that, due to the more appropriate phylogenetic placement of ''Shigella'' as a subgenus of ''Escherichia'' rather than as its own genus, it is possible that Stx could have been transduced into ''E. coli'' by a toxin-converting lambdoid bacteriophage, such as H-19B or 933W. This would explain the high conservation of amino acid sequences in functionally relevant (and otherwise structural) portions of the subunits. | Subunits A and B are encoded for by (stxA2 + stx2A + L0103) and (stxB2 + stx2B + L0104) respectively.
