Tryptophan content of Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1985 The tryptophan content of Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin was investigated. When the tryptophan content was determined by amino acid analysis after the hydrolysis of epsilon prototoxin with methanesulfonic acid containing 3-(2-aminoethyl)indole and by the spectrophotometric method with N-bromosuccinimide, the number of tryptophan residues was ...

A novel mechanism of programmed cell death in bacteria by toxin-antitoxin systems corrupts peptidoglycan synthesis. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2011 Most genomes of bacteria contain toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems. These gene systems encode a toxic protein and its cognate antitoxin. Upon antitoxin degradation, the toxin induces cell stasis or death.

Effect ofClostridium perfringensepsilon toxin on MDCK cells [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2001 Epsilon toxin is one of the major lethal toxins produced by Clostridium perfringens type D and B. It is responsible for a rapidly fatal disease in sheep and other farm animals. Many facts have been published about the physical properties and the biological activities of the toxin, but the molecular mechanism of the action inside the cells remains ...
