Diphtheria toxin, produced by a phage infecting Corynebacterium diphtheriae, is a proenzyme that, after activation, catalyzes the covalent attachment of the ADP ribose moiety of NAD to elongation factor 2. Fragment A is responsible for enzymatic ADP-ribosylation of elongation factor 2, while fragment B is responsible for binding of toxin to cell receptors and entry of fragment A. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa26-218 from Corynephage omega Diphtheria toxin, serovar B, fused to 10X His-Tag at N-terminal and Myc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
