A mutant of diphtheria toxin in which Ile-364 was replaced by Lys was at least 500-fold less toxic to Vero cells than the parental toxin. Its ability to undergo low-pH-triggered translocation across the plasma membrane was greatly diminished, as was its ability to form ion-conductive channels. In addition, the mutant toxin was inactive in the pH-dependent killing of Escherichia coli.
一种将异亮氨酸-364替换为赖氨酸的白喉毒素突变体对非洲绿猴肾细胞(Vero细胞)的毒性比亲本毒素至少低500倍。其在低pH触发下跨质膜转运的能力大大降低,形成离子传导通道的能力也同样如此。此外,该突变毒素在对大肠杆菌的pH依赖性杀伤中无活性。
