Function

Virulence factor that plays an important role in immune evasion. Lyses human lymphocytes and monocytes. Binds to the LFA-1 integrin on the surface of the host cell and to cholesterol-containing membranes, which probably results in large LtxA-LFA-1 clusters in lipid rafts.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cell outer membrane (Peripheral membrane protein); Secreted

Product Specifications

Protein Biology

Function

Virulence factor that plays an important role in immune evasion. Lyses human lymphocytes and monocytes. Binds to the LFA-1 integrin on the surface of the host cell and to cholesterol-containing membranes, which probably results in large LtxA-LFA-1 clusters in lipid rafts. Also shows beta-hemolytic activity on certain types of growth media

Subcellular Location

Cell outer membrane (Peripheral membrane protein); Secreted

Subunit

Interacts specifically with the superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn]. This interaction may protect LtxA from reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species produced by host inflammatory cells during disease (PubMed:17635874). Interacts with the human leukocyte adhesion glycoprotein LFA-1 (ITGAL-ITGB2) (PubMed:17635865)
