physiological function | the binding interaction of CdiA-CT toxin from uropathogenic Escherichia coli 536 with CysK mimics the cysteine synthase complex of CysK:CysE. The C-terminal tails of CysE and CdiA-CT each insert into the CysK active-site cleft to anchor the respective complexes. The dissociation constant for CysK:CdiA-CT is comparable to that of the Escherichia coli cysteine synthase complex, and both complexes bind through a two-step mechanism with a slow isomerization phase after the initial encounter. CdiA-CT can effectively displace CysE from pre-formed cysteine synthase complexes, enabling toxin activation even in the presence of excess competing CysE | Escherichia coli |
