Structural dynamics of the CROPs domain control stability and toxicity of Paeniclostridium sordellii lethal toxin

Abstract Paeniclostridium sordellii lethal toxin (TcsL) is a potent exotoxin that causes lethal toxic shock syndrome associated with fulminant bacterial infections. TcsL belongs to the large clostridial toxin (LCT) family. Here, we report that TcsL with varied lengths of combined repetitive oligopep...
