Studies were conducted to allow construction of an initial map of the structure-versus-function relationship of the Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin (CPE). Removal of the N-terminal 25 amino acids of CPE increased the primary cytotoxic effect of CPE but did not affect binding. CPE sequences required for at least four epitopes were also identified.
开展了多项研究,以构建A型产气荚膜梭菌肠毒素(CPE)结构与功能关系的初步图谱。去除CPE的N端25个氨基酸会增强CPE的主要细胞毒性作用,但不影响其结合。还确定了至少四个表位所需的CPE序列。
