Subunit structure and enzymic activity of pertussis toxin
Abstract
Pertussis toxin, an ADP-ribosylating toxin, interacts with vertebrate cells of many types and inhibits the ability of these cells to respond to certain hormones and neurotransmitters, resulting in a multitude of biological effects. The structure and mechanism of action of this toxin are described.
