“…With other multiplex microsphere sets, experiments with up to 100 substrates could be attained. Additionally, this system is surface based and has the option of using full length protein substrates, which will be used in extending our studies to full length substrates to evaluate the contributions of MAPKK distal element (3,4). Inclusion of substrates with the distal element could be greatly beneficial in the creation of a screening assay to detect LF inhibitors.…”

“…Lethal factor inhibitor (In-2-LF, suspended in 5% acetic acid) was added to wells 2, 4,6,8,10,14,16,18,20, and 22 to a final concentration of 1.5 lM. Factor Xa inhibitor, Antithrombin III, was added to a final concentration of 1 lM to wells 3,4,7,8,11,15,16,19,20,23. LF was added to wells 1-11 and 13-23 at a final concentration of 525 nM and Xa was added to wells 25-35 and 37-47 at a concentration of 575 nM.…”

“…Lethal toxin (LeTx) consists of PA, the moiety that is responsible for cellular binding and entry, and LF, which is a zinc metalloprotease. LeTx is implicated in both macrophage (Mf) and host death (Klimpel et al, 1994;Duesbery et al, 1998;Vitale et al, 1998). Oedema toxin (EdTx) consists of PA and EF, a calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase.…”

“…Anthrax PA is essential for pore formation, allowing intracellular transport of the active toxin enzymes, EF, and LF. EF is an adenylate cyclase, whereas LF is a metalloprotease that inactivates MAPK kinases (MAPKKs) through cleavage at specific recognition sites (5)(6)(7)(8).…”
