Ca2+ influx and tyrosine kinases trigger Bordetella adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) endocytosis. Cell physiology and expression of the CD11b/CD18 integrin major determinants of the entry route.
Humans infected with Bordetella pertussis, the whooping cough bacterium, show evidences of impaired host defenses. This pathogenic bacterium produces a unique adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) which enters human phagocytes and catalyzes the unregulated formation of cAMP, hampering important bactericidal...
