How ricin and shiga toxin reach the cytosol of target cells : retrotranslocation from the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]

, 2012
A number of protein toxins bind at the surface of mammalian cells and after endocytosis traffic to the endoplasmic reticulum, where the toxic A chains are liberated from the holotoxin.

Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cancer cells' high translational demand creates opportunities to therapeutically target ribosome function. Ribosome stalling and collisions activate ZAKα and the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which can trigger rapid, p53‐independent apoptosis in cancer.

The Effect of Mitomycin C on Induction of Shiga Toxin Production in Clinical STEC Isolates

Toxins
Early determination of the Shiga toxin type of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is crucial for guiding STEC-infected patients for proper and timely treatment and patient care.

MARK4 enhances stress granule formation under oxidative stress and increases tau accumulation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
MARK4 (red dots) localizes to stress granules (orange dots) and promotes their formation under oxidative stress by modulating TIA1 (blue dots). MARK4 and TIA1 synergistically increase tau (purple) accumulation, and the reduction of the TIA1 ortholog suppresses neurodegeneration in a fly model.

Pathogenic Potential to Humans of Bovine Escherichia coli O26, Scotland [PDF]

, 2012
Escherichia coli O26 and O157 have similar overall prevalences in cattle in Scotland, but in humans, Shiga toxin–producing E. coli O26 infections are fewer and clinically less severe than E. coli O157 infections.

P1PK blood group antigens in birds: implications for veterinary blood transfusion, human and pet health

BMC Veterinary Research
Background The P1PK blood group system in humans, composed of three glycosphingolipid antigens, plays a significant role in transfusion medicine. These antigens are synthesized by the enzyme α1,4-galactosyltransferase, encoded by the A4GALT gene, and ...

Identification and characterization of a gene conferring stress resistance in Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Functional screening identified PcSyn14890, a cyanobacteria‐specific protein that enhances growth and stress resistance in E. coli and Synechocystis PCC6803. Although we expected it to function as a molecular chaperone, it was unable to protect against thermal aggregation of GAPDH.

Eeyarestatin 1 interferes with both retrograde and anterograde intracellular trafficking pathways [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The small molecule Eeyarestatin I (ESI) inhibits the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-cytosol dislocation and subsequent degradation of ERAD (ER associated protein degradation) substrates.
