domain The metal ion is coordinated by residues from ca; calmodulin probably binds in a multistep fashion first to residues in ca and then to residues present in the linker and the helical domain. The pa-binding region is found in both b.anthracis ef and lf. The c-terminal region contains the calmodulin-dependent activation domain and the catalytic site. This region is composed of three globular domains: ca, cb and a helical domain connected to ca by a linker. The n-terminal region contains the residues responsible for binding to pa63. The active site lies at the interface of ca and cb.
similarity Contains 4 ef-hand domains. Belongs to the adenylyl cyclase class-2 family.[Anthrax_toxA]
subunit Ef probably forms oligomers as part of the translocation machinery, formed by an heterocomplex of pa63 monomers and ef subunits, and it is functional as a monomer in the host cell. Anthrax toxins are composed of three distinct proteins, a protective antigen (pa), a lethal factor (lf) and an edema factor (ef). None of these is toxic by itself. Pa+lf forms the lethal toxin (letx); pa+ef forms the edema toxin (edtx).
catalytic activ. Atp = 3',5'-cyclic amp + diphosphate.
post-translat. modifications Ubiquitination results in a strongly decreased activity (by similarity). Phosphorylation results in a decreased activity (by similarity).
subcellular loc. Secreted protein.
enzyme regulation It has an absolute requirement for host calmodulin for its activation. Inhibited by ethyl 5- aminopyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline-3-carboxylate.

function One of the three proteins composing the anthrax toxin, the agent which infects many mammalian species and that may cause death. Among the enzymes to be stimulated by the calmodulin-ca(2+) complex are a number of protein kinases and phosphatases. Ef is a calmodulin-dependent adenylyl cyclase that, when associated with pa, causes edema. Ef is not toxic by itself and it is required for the survival of germinated spores within macrophages at the early stages of infection. Calmodulin mediates the control of a large number of enzymes by ca(2+). Provokes dramatic elevation of intracellular camp levels in the host.
