| + | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TCDA_CLODI TCDA_CLODI] Precursor of a cytotoxin that targets and disrupts the colonic epithelium, inducing the host inflammatory and innate immune responses and resulting in diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis (PubMed:20844489). TcdA and TcdB constitute the main toxins that mediate the pathology of C.difficile infection, an opportunistic pathogen that colonizes the colon when the normal gut microbiome is disrupted (PubMed:19252482, PubMed:20844489). Compared to TcdB, TcdA is less virulent and less important for inducing the host inflammatory and innate immune responses (PubMed:19252482). This form constitutes the precursor of the toxin: it enters into host cells and mediates autoprocessing to release the active toxin (Glucosyltransferase TcdA) into the host cytosol (By similarity). Targets colonic epithelia by binding to some receptor, and enters host cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis (By similarity). Binding to LDLR, as well as carbohydrates and sulfated glycosaminoglycans on host cell surface contribute to entry into cells (PubMed:1670930, PubMed:31160825, PubMed:16622409). In contrast to TcdB, Frizzled receptors FZD1, FZD2 and FZD7 do not act as host receptors in the colonic epithelium for TcdA (PubMed:27680706). Once entered into host cells, acidification in the endosome promotes the membrane insertion of the translocation region and formation of a pore, leading to translocation of the GT44 and peptidase C80 domains across the endosomal membrane (By similarity). This activates the peptidase C80 domain and autocatalytic processing, releasing the N-terminal part (Glucosyltransferase TcdA), which constitutes the active part of the toxin, in the cytosol (PubMed:17334356, PubMed:19553670, PubMed:27571750).[UniProtKB:P18177]<ref>PMID:16622409</ref> <ref>PMID:1670930</ref> <ref>PMID:17334356</ref> <ref>PMID:19252482</ref> <ref>PMID:19553670</ref> <ref>PMID:20844489</ref> <ref>PMID:27571750</ref> <ref>PMID:27680706</ref> <ref>PMID:31160825</ref> Active form of the toxin, which is released into the host cytosol following autoprocessing and inactivates small GTPases (PubMed:7775453, PubMed:24905543, PubMed:30622517, PubMed:22747490, PubMed:22267739). Acts by mediating monoglucosylation of small GTPases of the Rho family (Rac1, RhoA, RhoB, RhoC, Rap2A and Cdc42) in host cells at the conserved threonine residue located in the switch I region ('Thr-37/35'), using UDP-alpha-D-glucose as the sugar donor (PubMed:7775453, PubMed:24905543, PubMed:30622517, PubMed:22747490, PubMed:22267739). Monoglucosylation of host small GTPases completely prevents the recognition of the downstream effector, blocking the GTPases in their inactive form, leading to actin cytoskeleton disruption and cell death, resulting in the loss of colonic epithelial barrier function (PubMed:7775453). Also able to catalyze monoglucosylation of some members of the Ras family (H-Ras/HRAS, K-Ras/KRAS and N-Ras/NRAS), but with much less efficiency than with Rho proteins, suggesting that it does not act on Ras proteins in vivo (PubMed:30622517).<ref>PMID:22267739</ref> <ref>PMID:22747490</ref> <ref>PMID:24905543</ref> <ref>PMID:30622517</ref> <ref>PMID:7775453</ref> | ||

| + | Clostridioides difficile causes a large proportion of nosocomial colon infections by producing toxins TcdA and TcdB as key virulence factors. TcdA and TcdB have analogous domain structures with a receptor-binding domain containing C-terminal combined repetitive oligopeptides (CROPs), an attractive target for the development of therapeutic antibodies. Here, we identify and characterize two potent neutralizing single-domain camelid anti-CROPsA antibodies, C4.2 and H5.2, with distinct mechanisms of action. Peptide mapping, high-resolution crystal structures and site-directed mutagenesis revealed that C4.2 and H5.2 nanobodies target the same C-terminal epitope centered on a (2667)QTIN(2670) motif, yet utilize different paratopes. Only for C4.2 is the complex geometry compatible with multisite binding using QTIN-like repeats throughout the CROPsA domain, as supported by Western blotting, ELISA, and SEC-MALS analysis. H5.2 binding is stronger and more selective for the C-terminal epitope than C4.2, although both nanobodies are sufficient to neutralize TcdA individually. The described epitope does not overlap with previously described epitopes of anti-CROPs antibodies and provides new modalities for disease treatment and diagnostics. | ||
