The association of shiga-like toxin with detergent-resistant membranes is modulated by glucosylceramide and is an essential requirement in the endoplasmic reticulum for a cytotoxic effect [PDF]

, 2006
Receptor-mediated internalization to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and subsequent retro-translocation to the cytosol are essential sequential processes required for the productive intoxication of susceptible mammalian cells by Shiga-like toxin-1 (SLTx).

The Natural Quassinoid Brusatol Enhances Venetoclax Efficacy and Overcomes Resistance in Myeloid Leukemias

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of the mechanisms by which the natural quassinoid brusatol induces apoptosis in myeloid leukemias and enhances venetoclax efficacy via p53‐dependent apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction. ABSTRACT While venetoclax‐based combinations have shown promising results in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the remission duration is ...

THE USE OF MASS SPECTROMETRIC ANALYSIS FOR THE DETECTION OF BACTERIAL TOXINS

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2018
Toxins - molecular weight compounds produced by microorganisms, animals, plants and possessing antigene properties. Recently due to the perceived threat of terrorist actions identification of a number of bacterial toxins is especially important.

Regional Differences in Presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli Virulence-Associated Genes in the Environment in the North West and East Anglian regions of England [PDF]

, 2020
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli is carried in the intestine of ruminant animals, and outbreaks have occurred after contact with ruminant animals or their environment.

Purification and Characterization of Shiga Toxin 2f, an Immunologically Unrelated Subtype of Shiga Toxin 2

PLoS ONE, 2013
Shiga-like toxin 2 (Stx2) is one of the most important virulence factors in enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains such as O157H7. Subtypes of Stx2 are diverse with respect to their sequence, toxicity, and distribution. The most diverse Stx2 subtype, Stx2f, is difficult to detect immunologically, but is becoming more frequently ...

A new branch of mammalian vitamin B6 metabolism: AKR1C‐mediated conversion of pyridoxal to pyridoxine and 4‐pyridoxolactone

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate (PLP) homeostasis relies on salvage enzymes, yet key metabolic branches remain undefined. We identify AKR1C isozymes as previously undescribed contributors that convert pyridoxal into pyridoxine or 4‐pyridoxolactone through reductase and dehydrogenase activities.

Bacterial Toxins: Friends or Foes?

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
Many emerging and reemerging bacterial pathogens synthesize toxins that serve as primary virulence factors. We highlight seven bacterial toxins produced by well-established or newly emergent pathogenic microbes.

Cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy as a cause of acute kidney injury in dogs in the UK [PDF]

, 2015
To describe the signalment, clinicopathological findings and outcome in dogs presenting with acute kidney injury (AKI) and skin lesions between November 2012 and March 2014, in whom cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) was suspected and ...

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

OPPORTUNICTIC ENTEROBACTERIACAE AS THE CAUSE OF THE ACUTE DIARRHEA AND GUT DISBIOSIS

Инфекция и иммунитет, 2014
. Strains of Klebsiella pneumonia isolated from faces were studied to detect virulence factors of “classical” enteric pathogens causing acute diarrhea (Shigella, Salmonella, diarreagenic Escherichia coli). We haven’t detect in Klebsiella the genes encode
