EMBL CDSCAA37298.1.
Sequence length2366 AA
Subcellular LocationHost cell plasma membrane
Function in Native Organism 1) It is a secretory glycosyltransferase which glycosylates the Rho family proteins of the host cell.
Potential Application1) Castanospermine binds to Rho/Ras-glucosylating Clostridium sordellii lethal toxin and Clostridium di?cile toxin B and inhibits the effect of toxins therefore this compound has a potential lead structure for the development of therapeutic inhibitors of clostridial glucosylating toxins.
Additional Information1) Structural analysis of toxin B suggests that it has an additional 309 amino acid residues which may be involved in target specificity.
2) The changing of Ile-383 and Gln-385 in toxin B to serine and alanine, respectively, increased the utilization of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine as a sugar donor for modification of RhoA.
