Trapping a translocating protein within the anthrax toxin channel: implications for the secondary structure of permeating proteins

Anthrax toxin consists of three proteins: lethal factor (LF), edema factor (EF), and protective antigen (PA). This last forms a heptameric channel, (PA(63))(7), in the host cell’s endosomal membrane, allowing the former two (which are enzymes) to be translocated into the cytosol. (PA(63))(7) incorpo...
