General description

Pseudomonas exotoxin A is secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is a member of the family mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pseudomonas exotoxin A functions as an anticancer agent.
It catalyses the transfer of ADP-ribose moiety of NAD+ to the histidine imidazole ring of diphthamide.
Shown to be toxic to animals and to cell lines, and to inhibit protein synthesis via ADP ribosylation of elongation factor 2.
