It’s mechanism of action is thought to be the dimerization of ToxR (DiRita & Mekalanos, 1991). By bringing two ToxR monomers together outside the cell membrane," "This mechanism of an extracellular protein causing a transmembrane protein to complex and activate transcription is fairly novel among bacterial transcriptional regulation systems."
