Bacterial toxins.
Many bacterial toxins are proteins, encoded by the bacterial chromosomal genes, plasmids or phages. Lysogenic phages form part of the chromosome. The toxins are usually liberated from the organism by lysis, but some are shed with outer membrane proteins in outer membrane vesicles. An important non-protein toxin is lipopolysaccharide or endotoxin, which is a constituent of the cell wall of gram ...
متن کاملIntracellular trafficking.
Studies in C. elegans have begun to reveal new components and new mechanisms associated with intracellular membrane traffic in a variety of cell types. The worm benefits from many of the advantages of yeast as a genetically tractable organism for these kinds of studies while offering the unique opportunity to probe how these pathways have been extended and modified in the context of a multicell...
متن کاملShiga Toxins: Intracellular Trafficking to the ER Leading to Activation of Host Cell Stress Responses
Despite efforts to improve hygenic conditions and regulate food and drinking water safety, the enteric pathogens, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 remain major public health concerns due to widespread outbreaks and the severity of extra-intestinal diseases they cause, including acute renal failure and central nervous system complications. Shiga t...
متن کاملIntracellular trafficking of porphyrins.
Hemes are porphyrins that play a critical role in diverse biological processes. Heme synthesis culminates in the mitochondrial matrix, but the eight-step biosynthetic pathway is spatially shared between the mitochondria and cytoplasm. A recent paper describes the nature of the transporter that translocates the heme precursor coproporphyrinogen III into the mitochondria for heme synthesis. The i...
متن کاملIntracellular trafficking of emerin
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD; OMIM # 310300) is an X-linked disease characterized by early contractures of the elbows, Achilles’ tendons and posterior neck, slow progressive muscle wasting and cardiomyopathy with atrioventricular conduction block (Emery and Dreifuss, 1966; Rowland et al., 1979; Emery, 1989). Positional cloning has identified a gene on chromosome Xq28 that is mutated ...
