Clostridial Glucosylating Toxins Enter Cells via Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis
Clostridium difficile toxin A (TcdA) and toxin B (TcdB), C. sordellii lethal toxin (TcsL) and C. novyi alpha-toxin (TcnA) are important pathogenicity factors, which represent the family of the clostridial glucosylating toxins (CGTs). Toxin A and B are associated with antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembraneous colitis. Lethal toxin is involved in toxic shock syndrome after abortion and...
متن کاملSelf-assembling mini cell-penetrating peptides enter by both direct translocation and glycosaminoglycan-dependent endocytosis.
A small library of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) containing a minimized cationic domain and a lipophilic domain of different size was studied. CPPs that could self-assemble were found to enter cells more efficiently, triggering a glycosaminoglycan-dependent pathway.
متن کاملPML Degradation: Multiple Ways to Eliminate PML
The promyelocytic leukemia tumor suppressor gene (PML) critically regulates several cellular functions that oppose tumorigenesis such as oncogene-induced senescence, apoptosis, the response to DNA damage and to viral infections. PML deficiency occurs commonly in a broad spectrum of human cancers through mechanisms that involve its aberrant ubiquitination and degradation. Furthermore, several vi...
متن کاملWays of dying: multiple pathways to apoptosis.
In order to eliminate cells that are redundant, damaged, or infected, metazoan organisms have evolved the cell suicide mechanism termed apoptosis (Kerr et al. 1972). This genetic program is vital for normal development, for maintenance of tissue homeostasis, and for an effective immune system. Not surprisingly therefore, its disturbance is implicated in numerous pathological conditions, ranging...
متن کاملNew cell for asthma: enter the myeloid.
Received 25 June 2012 Accepted 7 August 2012 The discovery of a new type of inflammatory cell would not feature in the wish list of a student of immunology grappling with the congested pathways of multiple cytokine molecules regulating a myriad of cell–cell interactions. However, the chest physician will be acutely aware that, with all our advanced knowledge of mechanisms underlying allergic as...
