Binding of the von Willebrand Factor A Domain of Capillary Morphogenesis Protein 2 to Anthrax Protective Antigen Vaccine Reduces Immunogenicity in Mice

mSphere, 2020
Protective antigen (PA) is a component of anthrax toxin that can elicit toxin-neutralizing antibody responses. PA is also the major antigen in the current vaccine to prevent anthrax, but stability problems with recombinant proteins have complicated the ...

Induction of autophagy by anthrax lethal toxin [PDF]

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2009
Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved intracellular process whereby cells break down long-lived proteins and organelles. Accumulating evidences suggest increasing physiological significance of autophagy in pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Anthrax lethal toxin (LT) exerts its influence on numerous cells and herein, we report a novel effect of LT ...

Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
We experimentally excluded vultures from pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) in Costa Rica, under different habitats and across seasons with the aim to assess the impact of vulture population decline on carrion decomposition and insect abundance. Vulture exclusion halved carcass decomposition rates and doubled fly abundance, while dung beetle abundance remained

Epidemiologic Investigation of Two Welder’s Anthrax Cases Caused by Bacillus cereus Group Bacteria: Occupational Link Established by Environmental Detection

Pathogens, 2022
Bacillus cereus group bacteria containing the anthrax toxin genes can cause fatal anthrax pneumonia in welders. Two welder’s anthrax cases identified in 2020 were investigated to determine the source of each patient’s exposure. Environmental sampling was

Antibodies and Inflammation: Fecal Biomarkers of Gut Health in Domestic Ruminants

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 343, Issue 4, Page 468-479, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal infections present major challenges to ruminant livestock systems, and gut health is a key constraint on fitness, welfare, and productivity. Fecal biomarkers present opportunities to monitor animal health without using invasive methods, and with greater resolution compared to observational metrics.

Anthrax Toxins—Roadblocks for Exocytic Trafficking [PDF]

Developmental Cell, 2010
Anthrax toxins cause vascular dysfunction, in part by perturbing the endothelial cell barrier. Reporting in Nature, Guichard et al. shed new light on the mechanism by which this occurs and show that anthrax toxins interfere with exocytic delivery of cadherins to endothelial cell junctions by antagonizing the exocyst complex.

Boronic Acid‐Linked Apo‐Zinc Finger Protein for Ubiquitin Delivery in Live Cells

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 7, April 1, 2025.
A minor modification to the side arm of a traditionally non‐cell penetrating peptide, zinc finger protein, utilizing boronic acid, has transformed its characteristics into those of a cell‐penetrating peptide, as evidenced by the delivery of the protein Ubiquitin in live A549 cells. Abstract Delivering cargo into live cells has extensive applications in
