Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine Peptoclostridium difficile toxins A and B are S-nitrosylated by the infected host and S-nitrosylation attenuates virulence by inhibiting toxin self-cleavage and cell entry. InsP(6)- and inositol diphosphate InsP(7)-induced conformational changes in the toxin enable host S-nitrosothiols to transnitrosylate the toxin catalytic cysteine, which forms part of a structurally conserved nitrosylation motif. Treatment with exogenous InsP(6) enhances the therapeutic actions of oral S-nitrosothiols in mouse models of Peptoclostridium difficile infection Clostridioides difficile
