| Popis: |
Pertussis toxin (PT) is a multimeric complex of six proteins. The PTS1 subunit is an ADP-ribosyltransferase that inactivates the alpha subunit of heterotrimeric Gi/o proteins. The remaining PT subunits form a pentamer that positions PTS1 in and above the central cavity of the triangular structure. Adhesion of this pentamer to glycoprotein or glycolipid conjugates on the surface of a target cell leads to endocytosis of the PT holotoxin. Vesicle carriers then deliver the holotoxin to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where PTS1 dissociates from the rest of the toxin, unfolds, and exploits the ER-associated degradation pathway for export to the cytosol. Refolding of the cytosolic toxin allows it to regain an active conformation for the disruption of cAMP-dependent signaling events. This review will consider the intracellular trafficking of PT and the order-disorder-order transitions of PTS1 that are essential for its cellular activity. |
