Biantennary N-glycans As Receptors for MARTX Toxins in Vibrio Pathogenesis

Multifunctional Autoprocessing Repeats-in-Toxin (MARTX) toxins are a diverse effector delivery platform of many Gram-negative bacteria that infect mammals, insects, and aquatic animal hosts. The mechanisms by which these toxins recognize host cell receptors for translocation of toxic effectors into the cell have remained elusive. Here, we map the first surface receptor-binding domain of a MARTX toxin from the highly lethal foodborne pathogen
