Structural insights into Clostridium perfringens delta toxin pore formation [PDF]
Clostridium perfringens Delta toxin is one of the three hemolysin-like proteins produced by C. perfringens type C and possibly type B strains. One of the others, NetB, has been shown to be the major cause of Avian Nectrotic Enteritis, which following the

Release of vasopressin from isolated permeabilized neurosecretory nerve terminals is blocked by the light chain of botulinum A toxin [PDF]
The intracellular action on exocytosis of botulinim A toxin and constituent chains was studied using permeabilized isolated nerve endings from the rat neural lobe. The release of the neuropeptide vasopressin was measured by radioimmunoassay.

T-cell receptor Vβ8 for detection of biologically active streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin type C
: Streptococcus pyogenes is an important human pathogen, commonly spread by airborne droplets but also by ingestion of contaminated food. Apart from causing infection, this pathogen produces 13 distinct types of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins (SPE ...

The entry of diphtheria toxin into the mammalian cell cytoplasm: evidence for lysosomal involvement [PDF]
Lysosomotropic amines, such as ammonium chloride, are known to protect cells from the cytotoxic effects of diphtheria toxin. These drugs are believed to inhibit the transport of the toxin from a receptor at the cell exterior into the cytoplasm where a ...

Botulinum toxin, one of the most poisonous biological substances known, is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. C. botulinum elaborates eight antigenically distinguishable exotoxins (A, B, C(1), C(2), D, E, F and G). All serotypes interfere with neural transmission by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the principal ...

Characterizing RecA-Independent Induction of Shiga toxin2-encoding Phages by EDTA Treatment [PDF]
The bacteriophage life cycle has an important role in Shiga toxin (Stx) expression. The induction of Shiga toxin-encoding phages (Stx phages) increases toxin production as a result of replication of the phage genome, and phage lysis of the host cell also
