Processing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Exotoxin A Is Dispensable for Cell Intoxication

Exotoxin A is a major virulence factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This toxin binds to a specific receptor on animal cells, allowing endocytosis of the toxin. Once in endosomes, the exotoxin can be processed by furin to generate a C-terminal toxin fragment that lacks the receptor binding domain and i...
