Diphtheria toxin is among many bacterial toxins that utilize the endosomal pathway of cellular entry, which is ensured by the bridging of the endosomal membrane by the toxin’s translocation (T) domain. Endosomal acidification triggers a series of conformational changes of the T-domain, that take place first in aqueous and subsequently in membranous milieu. These rearrangements ultimately result in establishing membrane-inserted conformation(s) and translocation of the catalytic moiety of the toxin into the cytoplasm. We discuss here the strategy for combining site-selective labeling with various spectroscopic methods to characterize structural and thermodynamic aspects of protonation-dependent conformational switching and membrane insertion of the diphtheria toxin T-domain. Among the discussed methods are FRET, FCS and depth-dependent fluorescence quenching with lipid-attached bromine atoms and spin probes. The membrane-insertion pathway of the T-domain contains multiple intermediates and is governed by staggered pH-dependent transitions involving protonation of histidines and acidic residues. Presented data demonstrate that the lipid bilayer plays an active part in T-domain functioning and that the so-called Open-Channel State does not constitute the translocation pathway, but is likely to be a byproduct of the translocation. The spectroscopic approaches presented here are broadly applicable to many other systems of physiological and biomedical interest for which conformational changes can lead to membrane insertion (e.g., other bacterial toxins, host defense peptides, tumor-targeting pHLIP peptides and members of Bcl-2 family of apoptotic regulators).
