Ricin trafficking in plant and mammalian cells [PDF]
, 2011 Ricin is a heterodimeric plant protein that is potently toxic to mammalian and many other eukaryotic cells. It is synthesized and stored in the endosperm cells of maturing Ricinus communis seeds (castor beans).

Replication of plasmids derived from Shiga toxinconverting bacteriophages in starved Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2011 The pathogenicity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) depends on the expression of stx genes that are located on lambdoid prophages. Effective toxin production occurs only after prophage induction, and one may presume that replication of the

American Society of Nephrology. Clinical Journal, 2019 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Inherited complement hyperactivation is critical for the pathogenesis of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) but undetermined in postdiarrheal HUS. Our aim was to investigate complement activation and variants of complement

Shiga toxin binds to activated platelets [PDF]
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2004 Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is associated with acute renal failure in children and can be caused by Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli. Thrombocytopenia and formation of renal thrombi are characteristic of HUS, suggesting that platelet activation is involved in its pathogenesis. However, whether Shiga toxin directly activates platelets is

MicrobiologyOpen, 2017 Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) produces Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2). Nitric oxide (NO), which acts as an antimicrobial defense molecule, was found to enhance the production of Stx1 and Stx2 in EHEC under anaerobic conditions.

Pathologic changes in mice induced by subtilase cytotoxin, a potent new Escherichia coli AB(5) toxin that targets the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]
, 2007 Subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) is the prototype of a recently discovered AB₅ cytotoxin family produced by certain strains of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC).
