| + | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TCSL1_PAESO TCSL1_PAESO] Precursor of a cytotoxin that targets the vascular endothelium, inducing an anti-inflammatory effect and resulting in lethal toxic shock syndrome (PubMed:19527792, PubMed:24919149, PubMed:29146177). TcsL constitutes the main toxin that mediates the pathology of P.sordellii infection, an anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium found in soil and in the gastrointestinal and vaginal tracts of animals and humans; although the majority of carriers are asymptomatic, pathogenic P.sordellii infections arise rapidly and are highly lethal (PubMed:29146177). This form constitutes the precursor of the toxin: it enters into host cells and mediates autoprocessing to release the active toxin (Glucosyltransferase TcsL) into the host cytosol (PubMed:32302524, PubMed:17334356, PubMed:27303685). Targets vascular endothelium by binding to the semaphorin proteins SEMA6A and SEMA6B, and enters host cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis (PubMed:32302524). 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 TcsL), which constitutes the active part of the toxin, in the cytosol (PubMed:17334356, PubMed:27303685).[UniProtKB:P18177]<ref>PMID:17334356</ref> <ref>PMID:19527792</ref> <ref>PMID:24919149</ref> <ref>PMID:27303685</ref> <ref>PMID:32302524</ref> <ref>PMID:29146177</ref> Active form of the toxin, which is released into the host cytosol following autoprocessing and inactivates small GTPases (PubMed:8626575, PubMed:8626586, PubMed:9632667, PubMed:17901056, PubMed:19744486, PubMed:24905543, PubMed:24919149, PubMed:27303685, PubMed:27023605, PubMed:30622517). Acts by mediating monoglucosylation of small GTPases of the Ras (H-Ras/HRAS, K-Ras/KRAS, N-Ras/NRAS and Ral/RALA) family 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:8858106, PubMed:8626575, PubMed:8626586, PubMed:9632667, PubMed:17901056, PubMed:19744486, PubMed:24905543, PubMed:24919149, PubMed:27023605, PubMed:30622517). Also able to catalyze monoglucosylation of some members of the Rho family (Rac1 and Rap2A), but with less efficiency than with Ras proteins (PubMed:8626586, PubMed:9632667, PubMed:19744486, PubMed:24905543). Monoglucosylation of host small GTPases completely prevents the recognition of the downstream effector, blocking the GTPases in their inactive form and leading to apoptosis (PubMed:8626586, PubMed:9632667, PubMed:17910886). Induces an anti-inflammatory effect, mainly by inactivating Ras proteins which results in blockage of the cell cycle and killing of immune cells (PubMed:17910886, PubMed:24919149). The absence or moderate local inflammatory response allows C.sordellii spreading in deep tissues, production of toxin which is released in the general circulation and causes a toxic shock syndrome (PubMed:24919149, PubMed:29146177).<ref>PMID:17901056</ref> <ref>PMID:17910886</ref> <ref>PMID:19744486</ref> <ref>PMID:24905543</ref> <ref>PMID:24919149</ref> <ref>PMID:27023605</ref> <ref>PMID:27303685</ref> <ref>PMID:30622517</ref> <ref>PMID:8626575</ref> <ref>PMID:8626586</ref> <ref>PMID:8858106</ref> <ref>PMID:9632667</ref> <ref>PMID:29146177</ref> | ||

| + | The crystal structures of the catalytic fragments of 'lethal toxin' from Clostridium sordellii and of 'alpha-toxin' from Clostridium novyi have been established. Almost half of the residues follow the chain fold of the glycosyl-transferase type A family of enzymes; the other half forms large alpha-helical protrusions that are likely to confer specificity for the respective targeted subgroup of Rho proteins in the cell. In the crystal, the active center of alpha-toxin contained no substrates and was disassembled, whereas that of lethal toxin, which was ligated with the donor substrate UDP-glucose and cofactor Mn2+, was catalytically competent. Surprisingly, the structure of lethal toxin with Ca2+ (instead of Mn2+) at the cofactor position showed a bound donor substrate with a disassembled active center, indicating that the strictly octahedral coordination sphere of Mn2+ is indispensable to the integrity of the enzyme. The homologous structures of alpha-toxin without substrate, distorted lethal toxin with Ca2+ plus donor, active lethal toxin with Mn2+ plus donor and the homologous Clostridium difficile toxin B with a hydrolyzed donor have been lined up to show the geometry of several reaction steps. Interestingly, the structural refinement of one of the three crystallographically independent molecules of Ca2+-ligated lethal toxin resulted in the glucosyl half-chair conformation expected for glycosyl-transferases that retain the anomeric configuration at the C1'' atom. A superposition of six acceptor substrates bound to homologous enzymes yielded the position of the nucleophilic acceptor atom with a deviation of <1 A. The resulting donor-acceptor geometry suggests that the reaction runs as a circular electron transfer in a six-membered ring, which involves the deprotonation of the nucleophile by the beta-phosphoryl group of the donor substrate UDP-glucose. | ||
