cdtB

Gene
cdtB
Protein
Cytolethal distending toxin subunit B
Organism
Escherichia coli
Length
269 amino acids
Function
Part of the tripartite complex that is required for the CDT activity. CdtB exhibits a DNA-nicking endonuclease activity, and very probably causes DNA damage in intoxicated cells. This damage induces G2/M cell cycle arrest, chromatin fragmentation, cell distention and nucleus enlargement.

Protein
Cytolethal distending toxin subunit B homolog
Organism
Salmonella typhi
Length
269 amino acids
Function
Produces a CDT (cytolethal distending toxin) activity, which causes DNA damage in intoxicated cells. This damage induces G2/M cell cycle arrest, chromatin fragmentation, cell distention and nucleus enlargement.
