Carbohydrate-binding specificity of the Escherichia coli cytolethal distending toxin CdtA-II and CdtC-II subunits.
Intoxication by cytolethal distending toxin depends on assembly of CdtB, the active A component of this AB toxin, with the cell surface-binding (B) component, composed of the CdtA-CdtC heterodimer, to form the active holotoxin. Here we examine the cell surface binding properties of Escherichia coli-derived CdtA-II (CdtA-II(Ec)) and CdtC-II(Ec) and their capacity to provide a binding platform fo...
متن کاملActinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans cytolethal distending toxin (Cdt): evidence that the holotoxin is composed of three subunits: CdtA, CdtB, and CdtC.
We have shown the Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans produces an immunosuppressive factor encoded by the cytolethal distending toxin (cdt)B gene, which is homologous to a family of Cdts expressed by several Gram-negative bacteria. We now report that the capacity for CdtB to induce G(2) arrest in Jurkat cells is greater in the presence of the other Cdt peptides: CdtA and CdtC. Plasmids contain...
متن کاملA CdtA-CdtC complex can block killing of HeLa cells by Haemophilus ducreyi cytolethal distending toxin.
The cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) of Haemophilus ducreyi is comprised of the CdtA, CdtB, and CdtC proteins, with the CdtB protein having demonstrated enzymatic (i.e., DNase) activity. Using a single recombinant Escherichia coli strain with two plasmids individually containing the H. ducreyi cdtA and cdtC genes, we purified a noncovalent CdtA-CdtC complex. Incubation of this CdtA-CdtC comple...
متن کاملCdtA, CdtB, and CdtC form a tripartite complex that is required for cytolethal distending toxin activity.
Campylobacter jejuni encodes a cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) that causes cells to arrest in the G(2)/M transition phase of the cell cycle. Highly related toxins are also produced by other important bacterial pathogens. CDT activity requires the function of three genes: cdtA, cdtB, and cdtC. Recent studies have established that CdtB is the active subunit of CDT, exerting its effect as a nucl...
متن کاملDistinct Roles for CdtA and CdtC during Intoxication by Cytolethal Distending Toxins
Cytolethal distending toxins (CDTs) are heterotrimeric protein exotoxins produced by a diverse array of Gram-negative pathogens. The enzymatic subunit, CdtB, possesses DNase and phosphatidylinositol 3-4-5 trisphosphate phosphatase activities that induce host cell cycle arrest, cellular distension and apoptosis. To exert cyclomodulatory and cytotoxic effects CDTs must be taken up from the host c...
