Structure of the Diphtheria Toxin at Acidic pH: Implications for the Conformational Switching of the Translocation Domain

Diphtheria toxin, an exotoxin secreted by Corynebacterium that causes disease in humans by inhibiting protein synthesis, enters the cell via receptor-mediated endocytosis. The subsequent endosomal acidification triggers a series of conformational changes, resulting in the refolding and membrane inse...
