The anthrax toxin is composed of the PA, lethal factor and edema factor. The PA translocates the [[Anthrax Lethal Factor|lethal]] (LF) and [[Anthrax edema factor|edema]] factors (EF) into the cell. The 83kD form of PA '''(PA83)''' binds to the anthrax toxin receptor. A 20kD fragment (PA20) is cleaved off the PA83 and the remaining '''PA63''' assembles into ring-shaped oligomer which becomes a membrane pre-channel. The PA pre-channel binds the lethal and edema factors allowing them to penetrate the membrane via pH gradient. |
