ABSTRACT Protective antigen (PA), a component of anthrax toxin, binds receptors on mammalian cells and is activated by a cell surface protease. The resulting active fragment, PA63, forms ring-shaped heptamers, binds the enzymic moieties of the toxin, and translocates them to the cytosol. Of the four crystallographic domains of PA, domain 1 has been implicated in binding the enzymic moieties; domain 2 is involved in membrane insertion and oligomerization; and domain 4 binds receptor. To determine the function of domain 3, we developed a screen that allowed us to isolate random mutations that cause defects in the activity of PA. We identified several mutations in domain 3 that affect monomer-monomer interactions in the PA63 heptamer, indicating that this may be the primary function of this domain.
