Abstract
The sequence of the first 66 amino acids of the amino-terminal part of the enterotoxin from Clostridium perfringens type A is presented. The trypsin activation of the enterotoxin involves hydrolysis of Lys15-Glu16 and Lys25-Thr26 bonds. The N-terminal sequence of the trypsin-activated enterotoxin has limited homology with the sequence of the N-terminal region of the cholera toxin B subunit.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
