Function

[LEF_BACAN] One of the three proteins composing the anthrax toxin, the agent which infects many mammalian species and that may cause death. LF is the lethal factor that, when associated with PA, causes death. LF is not toxic by itself. It is a protease that cleaves the N-terminal of most dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs or MAP2Ks) (except for MAP2K5). Cleavage invariably occurs within the N-terminal proline-rich region preceding the kinase domain, thus disrupting a sequence involved in directing specific protein-protein interactions necessary for the assembly of signaling complexes. There may be other cytosolic targets of LF involved in cytotoxicity. The proteasome may mediate a toxic process initiated by LF in the cell cytosol involving degradation of unidentified molecules that are essential for macrophage homeostasis. This is an early step in LeTx intoxication, but it is downstream of the cleavage by LF of MEK1 or other putative substrates.^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Anthrax lethal factor (LF) is a zinc-metalloprotease that together with the protective antigen constitutes anthrax lethal toxin, which is the most prominent virulence factor of the anthrax disease. The solution nuclear magnetic resonance and in silico conformational dynamics of the 105 C-terminal residues of the LF catalytic core domain in its apo form are described here. The polypeptide adopts a compact structure even in the absence of the Zn(2+) cofactor, while the 40 N-terminal residues comprising the metal ligands and residues that participate in substrate and inhibitor recognition exhibit more flexibility than the C-terminal region.
