Function

Active form of the toxin, which is released into the host cytosol following autoprocessing and inactivates small GTPases. Acts by mediating monoglucosylation of small GTPases of the Rho family (Rac1, RhoA, RhoB, RhoC, RhoG and Cdc42) in host cells at the conserved threonine residue located in the switch I region ('Thr-37/35'), using UDP-alpha-D-glucose as the sugar donor. Monoglucosylation of host small GTPases completely prevents the recognition of the downstream effector, blocking the GTPases in their inactive form, leading to actin cytoskeleton disruption and cell death, resulting in the loss of colonic epithelial barrier function.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Host cytoplasm, host cytosol; Host cell membrane (Peripheral membrane protein)

Interacts with host FZD1 (PubMed:27680706). Interacts with host FZD2; interaction promotes toxin entry into host cell and occupies the binding site for Wnt-adducted palmitoleate in FZD2, leading to prevent Wnt-binding and downstream Wnt signaling (PubMed:27680706, PubMed:29748286, PubMed:31233493). Interacts with host FZD7 (PubMed:27680706). Interacts with host CSPG4 (PubMed:25547119, PubMed:31233493). Interacts with host NECTIN3/PVRL3 (PubMed:26038560)
