"text": "<p>Diphtheria toxin ([ec:2.4.2.36]) is a 58kDa protein secreted by lysogenic strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The toxin causes the disease diphtheria in humans by gaining entry into the cell cytoplasm and inhibiting protein synthesis [[cite:PUB00000429]]. The mechanism of inhibition involves transfer of the ADP-ribose group of NAD to elongation factor-2 (EF-2), rendering EF-2 inactive. The catalysed reaction is as follows:</p>\n\n<p>\n<reaction>\nNAD<sup>+</sup> + peptide diphthamide = nicotinamide + peptide N-(ADP-D-ribosyl)diphthamide\n</reaction>\n</p>\n\n<p>The crystal structure of the diphtheria toxin homodimer has been determined to 2.5A resolution [[cite:PUB00004122]]. The structure reveals a Y-shaped molecule of 3 domains, a catalytic domain (fragment A), whose fold is of the α+β type; a transmembrane (TM) domain, which consists of 9 α-helices, 2 pairs of which may participate in pH-triggered membrane insertion and translocation; and a receptor-binding domain, which forms a flattened β-barrel with a jelly-roll-like topology [[cite:PUB00004122]]. The TM- and receptor binding-domains together constitute fragment B.</p>",
