C698A | site-directed mutagenesis of the autoprocessing domain, mutant TcsL C698A is able to quickly glucosylate Rac1, similar to wild-type TcsL, but is attenuated in its ability to glucosylate Ras GTPases. The introduction of the autoprocessing mutation does not impact the glucosylation of Rac1 or H-Ras in an in vitro assay | Paeniclostridium sordellii |
F17N/R18A | site-directed mutagenesis in the GTD membrane localization domain, on the surface of the membrane localization domain (MLD), the mutant shows a defect in membrane association in a liposome binding assay | Paeniclostridium sordellii |
F17N/R18A/C698A | site-directed mutagenesis in the GTD membrane localization domain, on the surface of the membrane localization domain (MLD), the mutant shows a defect in membrane association in a liposome binding assay. The triple mutant is also inhibited in both Rac1 and Ras glucosylation | Paeniclostridium sordellii |
additional information | when glucosyltransferase-deficient TcsL mutant, TcsL DxD, is used to intoxicate cells, the loss of the glucosyltransferase activity renders the mutant unable to glucosylate both Rac1 and Ras | Paeniclostridium sordellii |

Posttranslational Modification | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
proteolytic modification | maturation of the host cell endosome causes a conformational change in the pore-forming domain of TcsL, causing it to form a pore in the endosomal membrane. The autoprocessing domain is activated by host inositol hexakisphosphate and cleaves the glucosyltransferase domain (GTD), presumably to permit access to substrates residing at the plasma membrane | Paeniclostridium sordellii |

malfunction | the difference in cellular Rac1 and Ras glucosylation when the autoprocessing activity is ablated (mutation C698A) suggests that there is a localization difference for Rac1 and Ras. Mutations in the GTD membrane localization domain inhibit TcsL cytotoxicity | Paeniclostridium sordellii |
physiological function | maturation of the host cell endosome causes a conformational change in the pore-forming domain of TcsL, causing it to form a pore in the endosomal membrane. The autoprocessing domain is activated by host inositol hexakisphosphate and cleaves the glucosyltransferase domain (GTD), presumably to permit access to substrates residing at the plasma membrane. The GTD glucosylates small GTPases, predominately Rac, Ras, Ral, and Rap. The glucosylation leads to cytoskeletal rearrangement and rounding of the cells and also causes the induction of apoptosis. Lethal-toxin TcsL shows cytotoxicity in murine pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (mPMVECs) as model cells, incubation at 33°C or 37°C. Cell viability is determined by CellTiter-Glo luciferase 24 h after intoxication. TcsL autoprocessing and glucosyltransferase activities are important for cytotoxicity, TcsL cytotoxicity is dependent upon GTD localization to the cell membrane. The membrane localization domain (MLD) interaction with the membrane is important for the glucosylation of both Rac1 and Ras | Paeniclostridium sordellii |
