Diphtheria toxin and related proteins. I. Isolation and properties of mutant proteins serologically related to diphtheria toxin.
The kinetics of diphtheria toxin production by a mutant of the C7(@) strain of Corynebacterium diphtheriae has been studied. This strain, C7-262(p), produces unusually low yields of toxin, although its P-prophage carries a normal tox gene. The isolation of five strains of /3-phage, each carrying a different mutation of its tox gene, is described. Lysogens carrying these mutants as prophages pro...
متن کاملExpression of diphtheria toxin fragment A and hormone-toxin fusion proteins in toxin-resistant yeast mutants.
Mutants of the eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae, previously selected for resistance to diphtheria toxin, were investigated for their suitability as hosts for the expression of tox-related proteins. The structural gene for the toxin, encoding the fragment A catalytic domain, was modified for efficient intracellular expression in eukaryotes and placed downstream of the yeast GAL1 promoter eleme...
متن کاملDiphtheria toxin receptor. Identification of specific diphtheria toxin-binding proteins on the surface of Vero and BS-C-1 cells.
The biochemical characteristics of specific receptor molecules for diphtheria toxin on the surface of two toxin-sensitive cell lines (Vero and BS-C-1) were examined. Diphtheria toxin was found to bind to a number of different proteins in Nonidet P-40 solubilized extracts of 125I-labeled cells. In contrast, permitting diphtheria toxin to bind first to labeled intact cells, which were subsequentl...

Recent studies have demonstrated that diphtheria toxin is an enzyme of unusual type. Small amounts of the toxin, added to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-containing mammalian cell extracts, block peptide-bond formation by catalyzing inactivation of the translocating enzyme, aminoacyltransferase 2 (T2) (1-3). This highly specific reaction involves the splitting of NAD with liberation of ...
متن کاملHypersensitivity to diphtheria toxin by mouse cells expressing both diphtheria toxin receptor and CD9 antigen.
DTS-II is a highly diphtheria toxin (DT)-sensitive cell line previously isolated by transfection of wild-type DT-resistant mouse L-M(TK-) cells with the cDNA encoding a monkey Vero cell DT receptor. DTS-II cells are as toxin-sensitive as Vero cells, have approximately 3-fold more receptors than Vero cells, and have approximately 10-fold lower affinity for DT than Vero cells. We now cotransfecte...
