PG - 9580-9585 LID - 10.1073/pnas.1807658115 [doi] AB - Various bacterial protein toxins, including Clostridium difficile toxins A (TcdA) and B (TcdB), attack intracellular target proteins of host cells by glucosylation. After receptor binding and endocytosis, the toxins are translocated into the cytosol, where they modify target proteins (e.g., Rho proteins). Here we report that the activity of translocated glucosylating toxins depends on the chaperonin TRiC/CCT. The chaperonin subunits CCT4/5 directly interact with the toxins and enhance the refolding and restoration of the glucosyltransferase activities of toxins after heat treatment. Knockdown of CCT5 by siRNA and HSF1A, an inhibitor of TRiC/CCT, blocks the cytotoxic effects of TcdA and TcdB. In contrast, HSP90, which is involved in the translocation and uptake of ADP ribosylating toxins, is not involved in uptake of the glucosylating toxins. We show that the actions of numerous glycosylating toxins from various toxin types and different species depend on TRiC/CCT. Our data indicate that the TRiC/CCT chaperonin system is specifically involved in toxin uptake and essential for the action of various glucosylating protein toxins acting intracellularly on target proteins.
