Put forward is an efficient method for manufacturing cholera toxin B-subunit. Its advantages are relative simplicity and economy feasibility, as well as maximum output of the purified B-subunit, absolutely free from toxic A-subunit contaminant.

Cytosolic entry of Shiga-like toxin A chain from the yeast endoplasmic reticulum requires catalytically active Hrd1p [PDF]
Background Escherichia coli Shiga-like toxin 1 normally traffics to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in sensitive mammalian cells from where the catalytic A chain (SLTxA1) dislocates to the cytosol to inactivate ribosomes.

Syntaxin 16 and syntaxin 5 are required for efficient retrograde transport of several exogenous and endogenous cargo proteins [PDF]
Retrograde transport allows proteins and lipids to leave the endocytic pathway to reach other intracellular compartments, such as trans-Golgi network (TGN)/Golgi membranes, the endoplasmic reticulum and, in some instances, the cytosol. Here, we have used

Production of putative enhanced oral cholera vaccine strains that express toxin-coregulated pilus. [PDF]
The use of whole cell killed (WCK) oral cholera vaccines is an important strategy for cholera prevention in endemic areas. To overcome current vaccine limitations, we engineered strains of V.

p97 Is in a Complex with Cholera Toxin and Influences the Transport of Cholera Toxin and Related Toxins to the Cytoplasm [PDF]
Certain protein toxins, including cholera toxin, ricin, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A, are transported to the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum where they retro-translocate across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane to enter the cytoplasm.

Transient Facial Nerve Paralysis (Bell's Palsy) following Intranasal Delivery of a Genetically Detoxified Mutant of Escherichia coli Heat Labile Toxin. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: An association was previously established between facial nerve paralysis (Bell's palsy) and intranasal administration of an inactivated influenza virosome vaccine containing an enzymatically active Escherichia coli Heat Labile Toxin (LT ...

Neutralization of cholera toxin with nanoparticle decoys for treatment of cholera. [PDF]
Diarrheal diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In many cases, antibiotic therapy is either ineffective or not recommended due to concerns about emergence of resistance.

Conservation of cholera toxin gene in a strain of cholera toxin non-producing Vibrio cholerae O1 [PDF]
BT23, a Vibrio cholerae O1 E1 Tor isolate, possesses the cholera toxin (CT) gene as determined by PCR. However, CT was not detected in the culture medium by the reversed passive latex agglutination test, nor in the whole cell lysate as examined by Western blotting. The toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP) was not detected by Western blotting.

Summary1. Death in several infectious diseases is caused by protein toxins secreted by invading bacteria. Cholera toxin is a simple protein secreted by Vibrio cholerae colonizing the gut; it is responsible for the massive diarrhoea that is cholera.2. The primary action of cholera toxin is an activation of adenylate cyclase, an enzyme found on the inner
