Large clostridial cytotoxins--a family of glycosyltransferases modifying small GTP-binding proteins.

C von Eichel-Streiber1, P Boquet, M Sauerborn, M Thelestam.   

Abstract

Some Clostridium species produce ABX-type protein cytotoxins of high molecular weight. These toxins constitute the group of large clostridial cytotoxins (LCTs), which have homologous protein sequences, exert glycosyltransferase activity and modify GTP-binding proteins of the Ras-superfamily. These characteristics render the LCTs valuable tools for developmental and cell biologists.
