anthrax toxin

consists of 3 separate proteins: PA (protective antigen/factor), EF (edema factor) & LF (lethal factor); these three are nontoxic proteins that associate in binary or ternary combinations to form toxic complexes at the surface of mammalian cells; Bacillus anthracis calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase is component of EF protein, is a zinc-dependent metalloprotease; PA63 is a proteolytic fragment of PA83
