Identification of Dynamic Changes in Proteins Associated with the Cellular Cytoskeleton after Exposure to Okadaic Acid [PDF]
Exposure of cells to the diarrhetic shellfish poison, okadaic acid, leads to a dramatic reorganization of cytoskeletal architecture and loss of cell-cell contact.

Screening for Okadaic Acid by Immunoassay
Abstract Increasing incidences of phytoplankton blooms with the potential danger of toxin release into the food chain have necessitated the search for new diagnostic methods that can detect toxins quickly and reliably. A competitive enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to quantitate okadaic acid in shellfish and ...

Diverse Bacterial PKS Sequences Derived From Okadaic Acid-Producing Dinoflagellates [PDF]
Okadaic acid (OA) and the related dinophysistoxins are isolated from dinoflagellates of the genus Prorocentrum and Dinophysis. Bacteria of the Roseobacter group have been associated with okadaic acid producing dinoflagellates and have been previously ...

Promotion of BALB/3T3 Cell Transformation by the Okadaic Acid Class of Tumor Promoters, Okadaic Acid and Dinophysistoxin-1 [PDF]
Okadaic acid and dinophysistoxin‐1 are non‐12‐O‐tetradecanoylphorbol‐13‐acetate (non‐TPA)‐type tumor promoters, which enhance chemically induced tumorigenesis on mouse skin through a different mechanism from that of TPA. In the present study, we examined the promoting effects of these okadaic acid class tumor promoters on a two‐stage transformation ...

Is Protein Phosphatase Inhibition Responsible for the Toxic Effects of Okadaic Acid in Animals?
Okadaic acid (OA) and its derivatives, which are produced by dinoflagellates of the genera Prorocentrum and Dinophysis, are responsible for diarrhetic shellfish poisoning in humans.

Serine/Threonine Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulates the Transport of Axonal Mitochondria
Microtubule-based transport provides mitochondria to distant regions of neurons and is essential for neuronal health. To identify compounds that increase mitochondrial motility, we screened 1,641 small-molecules in a high-throughput screening platform ...
