Abstract
Anthrax toxin activator (AtxA) regulates the major virulence genes in Bacillus anthracis . The bacterium produces the anthrax toxins, and understanding the mechanism of toxin production may facilitate the development of therapeutics for B. anthracis infection. Since the discovery of AtxA 25 years ago, the mechanism by which it regulates its targets has largely remained a mystery. Here, we provide evidence that AtxA binds to the promoter region...
