Clostridium septicum alpha-toxin is proteolytically activated by furin.

Clostridium septicum alpha-toxin is secreted as an inactive 46,450-Da protoxin. The protoxin is activated by proteolytic cleavage near the C terminus, which eventually causes the release of a 45-amino-acid fragment. Proteoytic activation and loss of the propeptide allow alpha-toxin to oligomerize an...
