Protein Information
Name cya
Function Edema factor (EF), which constitutes one of the three proteins composing the anthrax toxin, causes edema in the host (PubMed:6285339, PubMed:2108958, PubMed:11807546). Acts as a calmodulin-dependent adenylyl cyclase by converting ATP to cAMP, leading to dramatic elevation of intracellular cAMP levels in the host, thereby causing edema (PubMed:6285339, PubMed:2108958, PubMed:11807546). EF is not toxic by itself and only acts as an edema factor when associated with protective antigen (PA) to form the edema toxin (EdTx) (PubMed:11553601, PubMed:2108958). Required for the survival of germinated spores within macrophages at the early stages of infection (PubMed:11737637).
Cellular Location Secreted. Host cytoplasm, host cytosol Note=Translocation into host cytosol is mediated via interaction with the cleaved form of protective antigen (PA-63): following secretion, EF binds via its N-terminal region to the upper rim of the ring-shaped homooligomer (homoheptamer or homooctamer) formed by PA-63 on the host cell membrane (PubMed:32047164). In this PA-63 pre-pore state, the N- terminal segment of EF refolds into an alpha helix engaged in the alpha-clamp of the PA-63 pre-pore (PubMed:32047164, PubMed:32521227) Recruitment to the PA-63 pre-pore enables domain reorganization of EF (PubMed:32521227). Loaded complexes are then endocytosed, followed by a conformational change of oligomerized PA-63 from the pre-pore to pore state, which is triggered by the low pH in the endosome (PubMed:11207582). EF is then unfolded to pass through the PA-63 pore and translocate into the host cytosol (PubMed:32047164)

Background

Anthrax Edema Factor Antibody: Anthrax infection is initiated by the inhalation, ingestion, or cutaneous contact with Bacillus anthracis endospores. B. anthracis produces three polypeptides that comprise the anthrax toxin: protective antigen (PA), lethal factor (LF), and edema factor (EF). PA binds to two related proteins on the cell surface; these are termed tumor epithelial marker 8 (TEM8)/anthrax toxin receptor (ATR) and capillary morphogenesis protein 2 (CMG2), although it is still unclear which is physiologically relevant. Following PA binding to its receptor, PA is cleaved into two fragments by a furin-like protease. The bound fragment binds both LF and EF; the resulting complex is then endocytosed which allows the translocation of LF and EF into the cytoplasm. EF is a calmodulin and Ca++-dependent adenylate cyclase responsible for the edema seen in the disease. It is thought to benefit the B. anthracis bacteria by inhibiting cells of the host immune system.
