Identification and characterization of human endogenous proteins and peptides as novel inhibitors for the Bordetella pertussis toxin and related AB-type protein toxins

open access: yes
Pertussis also called whooping cough is a highly infectious respiratory disease caused by an infection with Bordetella (B.) pertussis. The secreted virulence factor pertussis toxin (PT) is an AB-type protein toxin and associated with the symptoms and the life-threatening complications of severe pertussis, especially in human infants.

A double-edged sword: AB toxins as attack (cholera toxin) and defense (CCTX2) mechanisms

open access: yes
AB toxins are proteins often used by pathogens as an attack molecule. However, some organisms use them as a defense molecule, when threatened by a predator. This PhD thesis provides insights on the understanding of the molecular mechanism of two AB toxins, representing the two distinct roles of attack and defense.

Bacterial AB toxins and host–microbe interactions

2022
AB toxins are protein virulence factors secreted by many bacterial pathogens, contributing to the pathogenicity of the cognate bacteria. AB toxins consist of two functionally distinct components: the enzymatic "A" component for pathogenicity and the receptor-binding "B" component for toxin delivery.

Retrograde trafficking of AB₅ toxins: mechanisms to therapeutics.

Journal of molecular medicine (Berlin, Germany), 2014
Bacterial AB5 toxins are a clinically relevant class of exotoxins that include several well-known members such as Shiga, cholera, and pertussis toxins. Infections with toxin-producing bacteria cause devastating human diseases that affect millions of individuals each year and have no definitive medical treatment.
