The role of RNA‐binding proteins in mediating adaptive responses in Gram‐positive bacteria

The FEBS Journal, Volume 289, Issue 7, Page 1746-1764, April 2022., 2022
This review discusses the role of known and novel RNA‐binding proteins and how they contribute to regulating adaptive responses in Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria. We address the question whether Gram‐positive bacteria may utilize RNA‐binding proteins in a different way to regulate gene expression.

Clinical cases of atypical and severe botulism

Zaporožskij Medicinskij Žurnal, 2020
The aim of the work was to present two clinical cases of botulism: the atypical course and the severe course with late administration of heptavalent botulinum antitoxin, which still had a significant positive clinical effect and contributed to a faster ...

The light chain but not the heavy chain of botulinum A toxin inhibits exocytosis from permeabilized adrenal chromaffin cells [PDF]

, 1989
The heavy and light chains of botulinum A toxin were separated by anion exchange chromatography. Their intracellular actions were studied using bovine adrenal chromaffin cells permeabilized with streptolysin O.

Reductive chain separation of botulinum A toxin — a prerequisite to its inhibitory action on exocytosis in chromaffin cells [PDF]

, 1989
Cleavage of the disulfide bond linking the heavy and the light chains of tetanus toxin is necessary for its inhibitory action on exocytotic release ofcatecholamines from permeabi1ized chromaffin cells [(1989) FEBS Lett. 242, 245-248; (1989) J. Neurochern.

Foodborne Botulism: Neglected Diagnosis

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2019
Botulism is rare neuroparalytic disease caused by botulinum toxin, one of the most toxic substances known. Foodborne botulism is caused by consumption of foods contaminated with botulinum toxin.
