The C. difficile toxin B membrane translocation machinery is an evolutionarily conserved protein delivery apparatus

Large Clostridial toxins infiltrate host cells using a translocation domain (LCT-T). Here, using a genomics-driven approach and functional assays, the authors uncover the presence of distant LCT-T homologs in bacteria outside clostridia and provide evidence for a toxic effector function in the gamma...
