Function | Protective antigen constitutes one of the three proteins composing the anthrax toxin; it mediates attachment to host cells and translocation of edema factor (EF) and lethal factor (LF) into the host cytoplasm (PubMed:11700562, PubMed:14507921, PubMed:15243628, PubMed:15326297). PA associated with LF forms the lethal toxin (LeTx) and causes death when injected; PA associated with EF forms the edema toxin (EdTx) and produces edema (PubMed:1651334). PA induces immunity to infection with anthrax (PubMed:11544370). |
Cellular Location | [Protective antigen]: Secreted. Host cell membrane Note=Secreted through the Sec-dependent secretion pathway (PubMed:12606539). Therefore, PA is translocated across the membrane in an unfolded state and then it is folded into its native configuration on the trans side of the membrane, prior to its release to the environment (PubMed:12606539). PA requires the extracellular chaperone PrsA for efficient folding (PubMed:12606539). It circulates in the host blood and binds host cell receptors at the cell surface (PubMed:11700562, PubMed:14507921). |
