Preventing Voltage-dependent Gating of Anthrax Toxin Channels Using Engineered Disulfides
The channel-forming component of anthrax toxin, (PA(63))(7), is a heptameric water-soluble protein at neutral pH, but under acidic conditions it spontaneously inserts into lipid bilayers to form a 14-stranded β-barrel ion-conducting channel. This channel plays a vital role in anthrax pathogenesis be...
