Abstract
The actin cytoskeleton appears to be as the cellular target of various clostridial ADP-ribosyltransferases which have been described during recent years. Clostridium botulinum C2 toxin, Clostridium perfringens iota toxin and Clostridium spiroforme toxin ADP-ribosylate actin monomers and inhibit actin polymerization. Clostridium botulinum exoenzyme C3 and Clostridium limosum exoenzyme ADP-ribosylate the low-molecular-mass GTP-binding proteins of the Rho family, which participate in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. ADP-ribosylation inactivates the regulatory Rho proteins and disturbs the organization of the actin cytoskeleton.Entities:
