Toxin Glycan Binding: Lectin Keys Unlocking Host and Tissue Specificity.

Toxin Glycan Binding: Lectin Keys Unlocking Host and Tissue Specificity.
Cell Host Microbe. 2020 Jun 10;27(6):851-853
Authors: Petersen E, Miller SI
Abstract
In this issue of Cell Host and Microbe, Lee et al. define the glycan binding specificity of a variant of typhoid toxin produced by a non-typhoidal Salmonellae serotype. The authors elegantly demonstrate that tissue and host specificity of the toxin are related to specific glycan binding characteristics of the toxin.
