General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | cathepsin B-mediated autophagy flux facilitates the anthrax toxin receptor 2-mediated delivery of anthrax lethal factor, LeTx, into the cytoplasm, requiring lysosomal fusion with LeTx-containing endosomes. Anthrax lethal toxin is a virulence factor secreted by Bacillus anthracis and has direct cytotoxic effects on most cells once released into the cytoplasm. Inhibition of cathepsin B blocks MEK1 cleavage induced by anthrax lethal toxin through delaying LeTx release into the cytoplasm | Mus musculus |
physiological function | CTSB is a lysosomal cysteine protease primarily involved in the degradation or processing of lysosomal proteins | Mus musculus |
