Structure of the glucosyltransferase domain of TcdA in complex with RhoA provides insights into substrate recognition

Abstract Clostridioides difficile is one of the most common causes of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in developed countries. As key virulence factors of C. difficile, toxin A (TcdA) and toxin B (TcdB) act by glucosylating and inactivating Rho and Ras family small GTPases in host cells, which leads t...
