Vibrio cholerae strains from diverse O-antigen groups were evaluated for RTX toxin actin cross-linking activity. This study demonstrates that the actin cross-linking domain sequence is present within rtxA in the majority of clinical and environmental isolates tested, and the RTX toxin produced by these strains catalyzes the covalent cross-linking of cellular actin.
对来自不同O抗原组的霍乱弧菌菌株进行RTX毒素肌动蛋白交联活性评估。本研究表明,在大多数测试的临床和环境分离株中,rtxA内存在肌动蛋白交联结构域序列,并且这些菌株产生的RTX毒素催化细胞肌动蛋白的共价交联。
