UniProt functional annotation for P0DKX7

UniProt code: P0DKX7.

Organism: Bordetella pertussis (strain Tohama I / ATCC BAA-589 / NCTC 13251).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Betaproteobacteria; Burkholderiales; Alcaligenaceae; Bordetella.
 
Function: This adenylate cyclase belongs to a special class of bacterial toxin. It causes whooping cough by acting on mammalian cells by elevating cAMP-concentration and thus disrupts normal cell function.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP = 3',5'-cyclic AMP + diphosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15389, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:58165; EC=4.6.1.1;
Activity regulation: Activated by host calmodulin.
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Domain: The Gly-rich region is probably involved in binding calcium, which is required for target cell-binding or cytolytic activity. {ECO:0000250}.
Ptm: Released in a processed form.
Ptm: Palmitoylated by CyaC. The toxin only becomes active when modified in position Lys-983. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10196151, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7939682}.
Similarity: In the N-terminal section; belongs to the adenylyl cyclase class-2 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: In the C-terminal section; belongs to the RTX prokaryotic toxin family. {ECO:0000305}.
