Targeting Bacillus anthracis toxicity with a genetically selected inhibitor of the PA/CMG2 protein-protein interaction

Abstract The protein-protein interaction between the human CMG2 receptor and the Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) is essential for the transport of anthrax lethal and edema toxins into human cells. We used a genetically encoded high throughput screening platform to screen a SICLOPPS librar...
