UniProtKB description:  Precursor of a multifunctional toxin that causes destruction of the actin cytoskeleton by covalent cross-linking of actin and inactivation of Rho GTPases when translocated into the host cytoplasm (PubMed:26185092). Upon translocation into the host cell, undergoes autoprocessing in cis mediated by the peptidase C80 domain (also named CPD domain): the protease activity is activated upon binding inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) present at the host cell membrane and delivers the Cysteine protease domain-containing toxin F3 chain to the host cytosol (PubMed:17464284, PubMed:18591243, PubMed:18845756, PubMed:19465933, PubMed:19620709). The Cysteine protease domain-containing toxin F3 chain will then further cleave and release effector toxin chains that cause disassembly of the actin cytoskeleton and enhance V.cholerae colonization of the small intestine, possibly by facilitating evasion of phagocytic cells (PubMed:11553575, PubMed:12045243, PubMed:17698571, PubMed:17698573, PubMed:19620709, PubMed:19812690).
