Posttranslational Modification | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
proteolytic modification | BoNTs are synthesized as single inactive polypeptide chains that are cleaved by endogenous or exogenous proteases to generate the active dichain form of the toxin. Nicking of the single chain BoNT/E to the dichain form is associated with 100fold increase in toxicity | Clostridium botulinum |
