One of the toxins produced by Bacillus anthracis (the cause of anthrax) is known as EF, or edema factor (edema is the abnormal buildup of extracellular fluid). EF, which enters mammalian host cells, is a calmodulin-activated adenylate cyclase. Explain how this toxin causes edema.
Describe how ligand binding to a receptor leads to the production of IP3 and DAG and the release of Ca2+.
