Overview

This product has been discontinued.



Recombinant, Bacillus anthracis anthrax lethal factor expressed in a specialized strain of B. anthracis. One of the three protein components of Anthrax toxin, lethal factor (LF) is a highly specific protease that cleaves members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) family. LF is comprised of four domains. Domain I binds the protective antigen to enter the target cell; domains II, III, and IV create a long groove to hold and cleave the MAPKK proteins.

Revision14-October-2013 JSW
DescriptionRecombinant, Bacillus anthracis anthrax lethal factor expressed in a special strain of B. anthracis. One of three protein components of anthrax toxin produced by the pathogenic bacterium, Bacillus anthracis. Highly specific protease component that cleaves members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) family. LF is comprised of four domains: domain I that binds to protective antigen (necessary for entry into the cellular target) and domains II, III, and IV which form a long groove to hold and cleave the target proteins. Requires passage through an acidic vesicle prior to translocation to the cytoplasm of the cell. Cleavage of target proteins leads to the inhibition of multiple signaling pathways and cell death.
