Title: Functional synergy of heteropentameric B subunits underlies virulence in a Salmonella A2B5 toxin.

Abstract: AB5-type toxins are critical virulence factors in bacterial pathogenesis. Despite the identification of various B subunits in AB5 toxins across different pathogens, their assembly mechanisms and ...AB5-type toxins are critical virulence factors in bacterial pathogenesis. Despite the identification of various B subunits in AB5 toxins across different pathogens, their assembly mechanisms and biological significance remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified and characterized a typhoid toxin-like A2B5 toxin, designated diarizonae toxin (DiaT), as a key virulence factor in Salmonella diarizonae. The DiaT genomic islet encodes two distinct B subunits, PltBd1 and PltBd2, which exhibit unique functional roles. Through genetic and functional analyses, we demonstrate that the heteropentameric assembly of PltBd1 and PltBd2 is essential for cytotoxicity, with our data suggesting PltBd1 facilitates toxin secretion and PltBd2 mediates host cell targeting. Cryo-EM structural analysis of endogenously expressed DiaT reveals a heteropentameric holotoxin with a 3:2 stoichiometry of PltBd1 to PltBd2, potentially stabilized by the PltA subunit. These findings uncover a novel assembly mechanism and synergistic functionality between distinct B subunits, advancing our understanding of the evolutionary diversity and functional complexity of AB5 toxins. This work provides new insights into bacterial pathogenesis and highlights potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
