Mono-ADP-ribosyl transferase (mART) proteins are secreted virulence factors produced by several human pathogens, the founding member being diphtheria toxin (DT). Pseudomonas aeruginosa can also secrete a mART toxin, known as exotoxin A (PE), but with an organization of its three functional domains (receptor, translocation, and enzymatic elements) that is opposite to DT. Two additional PE-like toxins (PLTs) have been identified from Vibrio cholerae and Aeromonas hydrophila, suggesting more PLT family members may exist. Database mining discovered six additional putative homologues, considerably extending this group of PLTs across a wide range of bacterial species. Here, we examine sequence and structural information for these new family members with respect to previously identified PLTs. The X-ray crystal structures of four new homologues show the conservation of critical features responsible for structure and function. This study shows the potential of these newly described toxins for the development of novel drug delivery platforms. Additionally, genomic analysis suggests horizontal gene transfer to account for the wide distribution of PLTs across a range of eubacteria species, highlighting the need to monitor emerging pathogens and their virulence factors.
