ligand

enzyme

similarity

Belongs to the Enterotoxin_b family.

subunit

The a subunit contains two chains, a1 and a2, linked by a disulfide bridge. The holotoxin (choleragen) consists of a pentameric ring of b subunits whose central pore is occupied by the a subunit.

gene

ctxB (V. cholerae)

function

It can bind five gm1 gangliosides. The b subunit pentameric ring directs the a subunit to its target by binding to the gm1 gangliosides present on the surface of the intestinal epithelial cells. It has no toxic activity by itself.

Visual 3D analysis of 1CHP

Protein Explorer, Easier to use and more powerful than RasMol. (Win and Mac only)

Noncovalent Bond Finder displays the closest contacts to ligand or interface, reports distances, walks over water bridges.

STING, shows the sequence and maps the locations of sequence residues or residue ranges onto the 3D structure.
