physiological function | the cytoplasmic delivery of anthrax lethal factor by anthrax toxin receptor ANTXR2 is mediated by cathepsin B and requires lysosomal fusion with anthrax lethal toxin containing endosomes. Binding of protective antigen to ANXTR1 or -2 triggers autophagy, which facilitates the cytoplasmic delivery of ANTXR2-associated anthrax lethal factor. Whereas cells treated with the membrane-permeable cathepsin B inhibitor CA074-Me- orcathepsin B-deficient cells have no defect in fusion of light chain 3-containing autophagic vacuoles with lysosomes, autophagic flux is significantly delayed | Bacillus anthracis |
