Abstract: | Mono-ADP-ribosylation was originally discovered as the mechanism by which diphtheria toxin inactivates protein synthesis. It is now apparent that higher organisms use analogous mechanisms to regulate endogenous metabolism. Here, the relationship between bacterial toxins and vertebrate mono-ADP ribosyltransferases is explored. |
