The Hsp90 machinery facilitates the transport of diphtheria toxin into human cells [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Diphtheria toxin kills human cells because it delivers its enzyme domain DTA into their cytosol where it inhibits protein synthesis. After receptor-mediated uptake of the toxin, DTA translocates from acidic endosomes into the cytosol, which might be ...

Toxins, 2016 Diphtheria toxin is a single-chain protein toxin that invades human cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis. In acidic endosomes, its translocation domain inserts into endosomal membranes and facilitates the transport of the catalytic domain (DTA) from ...

Diphtheria toxin activates ribotoxic stress and NLRP1 inflammasome-driven pyroptosis. [PDF]
J Exp Med, 2023 \ua9 2023 Robinson et al. The ZAKα-driven ribotoxic stress response (RSR) is activated by ribosome stalling and/or collisions. Recent work demonstrates that RSR also plays a role in innate immunity by activating the human NLRP1 inflammasome.
