Preferred Label : anthrax toxin;
MeSH note : 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;
