Identification of a peptide motif that potently inhibits two functionally distinct subunits of Shiga toxin
Watanabe-Takahashi, Tamada, Senda et al. identify a tetravalent peptide that inhibits Shiga toxin (Stx), a major virulence factor of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, by targeting its receptor-binding. On the other hand, a monomeric peptide containing the same motif occupies the Stx catalytic cavi...
