Surveillance of diphtheria in the Netherlands between 2000–2021: cutaneous diphtheria supersedes the respiratory form

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background Diphtheria is a severe respiratory or cutaneous infectious disease, caused by exotoxin producing Corynebacterium diphtheriae, C. ulcerans and C. pseudotuberculosis. Diphtheria is once again prevalent due to breakdown of immunisation programmes,

Comprehensive Characterization of Bihormonal Cells and Endocrine Cell Lineages in Mammalian Pancreatic Islets

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study integrates dual‐reporter genetics, imaging flow cytometry, and single‐cell sequencing to characterize rare bihormonal cells in mouse and human pancreatic islets. Gcg⁺Ins⁺ cells resemble α‐cells rather than transitional states. Cross‐species gene network analysis refines islet cell taxonomy and reveals human‐specific δ‐cell subtypes ...

Diphtheria toxin-binding glycoproteins on hamster cells: candidates for diphtheria toxin receptors [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1979
Diphtheria toxin-binding glycoproteins of high molecular weight (greater than 100,000) were identified on the surface of lymph node and thymus cells from hamsters, a diphtheria toxin-sensitive species. These diphtheria toxin-binding glycoproteins also interacted with CRM197 protein, which possesses toxin-blocking activity, but not with diphtheria ...

Rare human skin infection with Corynebacterium ulcerans: transmission by a domestic cat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Corynebacterium ulcerans is mainly known for its ability to cause animal infections. Some strains of C. ulcerans produce diphtheria toxin, which can cause life-threatening cardiopathies and neuropathies in humans. Human cutaneous C. ulcerans infection is

Coexistence of competing metabolic pathways in well-mixed populations [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. E 93, 052401 (2016), 2016
Understanding why strains with different metabolic pathways that compete for a single limiting resource coexist is a challenging issue within a theoretical perspective. Previous investigations rely on mechanisms such as group or spatial structuring to achieve a stable coexistence between competing metabolic strategies.

Oligodendrogenesis in Evolution, Development and Adulthood

open access: yesGlia, EarlyView.
Oligodendrocytes and myelin took shape in jawed vertebrates. During development, OPCs are originated from NSCs and then undergo differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes that supply myelin. OPCs persist in the adult CNS and continue to produce oligodendrocytes and myelin. Adaptive myelination, which fine‐tunes neural circuits in response to neuronal

Observations on the Structure of Diphtheria Toxin

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1971
Diphtheria toxin is synthesized as a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of about 62,000. After being secreted it may be partially digested by proteolytic enzymes released from the bacterial cells into the culture medium and purified preparations of toxin usually contain some of the proteolytic breakdown products.

"Alternative" endocytic mechanisms exploited by pathogens: new avenues for therapeutic delivery? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Some pathogens utilize unique routes to enter cells that may evade the intracellular barriers encountered by the typical clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway.

Histidine 21 is at the NAD+ binding site of diphtheria toxin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Treatment of fragment A chain of diphtheria toxin (DT-A) with diethylpyrocarbonate modifies His-21, the single histidine residue present in the chain, without alteration of other residues.
