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

Cleaved intracellular SNARE peptides are implicated in a novel cytotoxicity mechanism of botulinum serotype C [PDF]
Recent advances in intracellular protein delivery have enabled more in-depth analyses of cellular functions. A specialized family of SNARE proteases, known as Botulinum Neurotoxins, blocks neurotransmitter exocytosis, which leads to systemic toxicity ...

Aims Shunting (hypermethylating) thiopurine metabolism, characterized by excessive 6‐MMPR production and (sub)therapeutic 6‐TGN levels, poses a significant challenge in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study evaluates the metabolic outcomes of switching to low‐dose thiopurine with allopurinol (LDTA) or thioguanine (TG) in IBD ...
