... surprising that TH8 is in the corebecause it is buried in the structure. Within the whole toxin, TH5 is partly covered by the C-terminal part of the receptor (R) domain [2,3]. Within the isolated T domain, ... to the functional state, which initi-ates the translocation of the catalytic domain. Here, the data allowed identification of the core of the pro-tein in the N state and the evolution of the overallstructure ... functional molten globule state at acidic pH. In the native state, the a-helices TH5 and TH8 are identified as the core of the domain. Based on the high-resolution structure of the T domain, wepropose...
