Figure 4. Utilization of host glycans by bacterial AB toxins.

Figure 4.

Almost all bacterial AB toxins use host glycans as cellular receptors. Toxin names and their glycan receptor moieties identified are indicated in this graphic. The light blue shaded area depicts target host cells. Some notable examples are highlighted in this figure and are discussed under the heading ‘Bacterial toxins’. Abbreviations: LDLR, low-density lipoprotein receptor; sGAGs, sulfated glycosaminoglycans.
