Cholera and pertussis toxins each contain a subunit with ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, sharing a region of nearly identical amino acid sequence near the NH2 terminus. Previous investigations have shown that substitution of a lysine residue for Arg-9 in the catalytic A subunit of pertussis toxin substantially eliminates its enzyme activity. We now report that substitution of lysine for the position-equivalent Arg-7 of cholera toxin subunit A leads to a similar loss of catalytic activity. This result suggests a correlation of function with structure between the sequence-related cholera and pertussis toxin A subunits and may contribute to the design of a vaccine containing an enzymatically inert analog of cholera toxin.
