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

Characterization of MicroRNA and Gene Expression Profiles Following Ricin Intoxication
Ricin, derived from the castor bean plant, is a highly potent toxin, classified as a potential bioterror agent. Current methods for early detection of ricin poisoning are limited in selectivity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are naturally occurring, negative

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.

Abstract Shwachman‐Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by pancreatic insufficiency and neutropenia. While most cases are linked to mutations in the SBDS gene, some involve mutations in the GTPase EFL1. This protein works with SBDS to release the anti‐association factor eIF6 from the 60S ribosomal subunit during ribosome ...

Recommended Immunological Assays to Screen for Ricin-Containing Samples
Ricin, a toxin from the plant Ricinus communis, is one of the most toxic biological agents known. Due to its availability, toxicity, ease of production and absence of curative treatments, ricin has been classified by the Centers for Disease Control and ...

The recent discoveries of ricin, a deadly biologic toxin, at a South Carolina postal facility, a White House mail facility, and a US senator's office has raised concerns among public health officials, physicians, and citizens. Ricin is one of the most potent and lethal substances known, particularly when inhaled.

Soil and Genotype Shape the Sugarcane Phytobiome for Enhanced Environmental Adaptation
Soil type and sugarcane genotype, differing in their adaptability to low‐fertility soils, interact to shape microbial recruitment and host transcriptional responses. In sandy soils, the better‐adapted genotype IACSP‐5503 recruits more plant growth‐promoting bacteria and activates growth‐related genes, while in clayey soils the less‐adapted IACSP‐6007 ...

Identification and Biological Evaluation of a Novel Small-Molecule Inhibitor of Ricin Toxin
The plant-derived toxin ricin is classified as a type 2 ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) and currently lacks effective clinical antidotes. The toxicity of ricin is mainly due to its ricin toxin A chain (RTA), which has become an important target for ...

Targeting ricin to the ribosome [PDF]
The plant toxin ricin is highly toxic for mammalian cells and is of concern for bioterrorism. Ricin belongs to a family of functionally related toxins, collectively referred to as ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs), which disable ribosomes and halt protein synthesis. Currently there are no specific antidotes against ricin or related RIPs.
