Cholera holotoxin, Crystal form 2

OverviewOverview

Cholera toxin (CT) is a heterohexameric bacterial protein toxin belonging to a larger family of A/B ADP-ribosylating toxins. Each of these toxins undergoes limited proteolysis and/or disulfide bond reduction to form the enzymatically active toxic fragment. Nicking and reduction render both CT and the closely related heat-labile enterotoxin from Escherichia coli (LT) unstable in solution, thus far preventing a full structural understanding of the conformational changes resulting from toxin activation. We present the first structural glimpse of an active CT in structures from three crystal forms of a single-site A-subunit CT variant, Y30S, which requires no activational modifications for full activity. We also redetermined the structure of the wild-type, proenzyme CT from two crystal forms, both of which exhibit (i) better geometry and (ii) a different A2 "tail" conformation than the previously determined structure [Zhang et al. (1995) J. Mol. Biol. 251, 563-573]. Differences between wild-type CT and active CTY30S are observed in A-subunit loop regions that had been previously implicated in activation by analysis of the structure of an LT A-subunit R7K variant [van den Akker et al. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 10996-11004]. The 25-36 activation loop is disordered in CTY30S, while the 47-56 active site loop displays varying degrees of order in the three CTY30S structures, suggesting that disorder in the activation loop predisposes the active site loop to a greater degree of flexibility than that found in unactivated wild-type CT. On the basis of these six new views of the CT holotoxin, we propose a model for how the activational modifications experienced by wild-type CT are communicated to the active site.

 ==Overview==
-Cholera toxin (CT) is a heterohexameric bacterial protein toxin belonging, to a larger family of A/B ADP-ribosylating toxins. Each of these toxins, undergoes limited proteolysis and/or disulfide bond reduction to form the, enzymatically active toxic fragment. Nicking and reduction render both CT, and the closely related heat-labile enterotoxin from Escherichia coli (LT), unstable in solution, thus far preventing a full structural understanding, of the conformational changes resulting from toxin activation. We present, the first structural glimpse of an active CT in structures from three, crystal forms of a single-site A-subunit CT variant, Y30S, which requires, no activational modifications for full activity. We also redetermined the, structure of the wild-type, proenzyme CT from two crystal forms, both of, which exhibit (i) better geometry and (ii) a different A2 "tail", conformation than the previously determined structure [Zhang et al. (1995), J. Mol. Biol. 251, 563-573]. Differences between wild-type CT and active, CTY30S are observed in A-subunit loop regions that had been previously, implicated in activation by analysis of the structure of an LT A-subunit, R7K variant [van den Akker et al. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 10996-11004]., The 25-36 activation loop is disordered in CTY30S, while the 47-56 active, site loop displays varying degrees of order in the three CTY30S, structures, suggesting that disorder in the activation loop predisposes, the active site loop to a greater degree of flexibility than that found in, unactivated wild-type CT. On the basis of these six new views of the CT, holotoxin, we propose a model for how the activational modifications, experienced by wild-type CT are communicated to the active site.
