Bacillus anthracis lethal factor
Active
Description
Bacillus anthracis lethal factor is one of the three components of the anthrax toxin produced by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, which causes anthrax. This protein acts as a zinc-dependent metalloprotease that, when combined with protective antigen (PA) and entering host cells, disrupts cellular signaling by inactivating mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), leading to cell death, particularly in immune cells like macrophages, and contributing to the overall pathogenic effects of anthrax infection.
