Structural basis for CSPG4 as a receptor for TcdB and a therapeutic target in Clostridioides difficile infection

Structural basis for CSPG4 as a receptor for TcdB and a therapeutic target in Clostridioides difficile infection

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) is a potential receptor for C. difficile toxin B (TcdB) during C. difficile infections (CDIs). Here, the cryo-EM structure of a TcdB–CSPG4 complex and CDI mouse models offer insights into CSPG4 role in CDIs and suggest a therapeutic strategy targeting TcdB....
