General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
3.4.24.83 physiological function the Lethal Toxin is formed when up to three molecules of lethal factor bind a 63 kDA protective antigen heptamer. Anthrax lethal toxin is a major virulence factor of Bacillus anthracis. Fully assembled lethal toxin binds an anthrax toxin receptor with almost 100fold higher affinity than the protective antigen alone Bacillus anthracis
