Noradrenaline release from permeabilized synaptosomes is inhibited by the light chain of tetanus toxin [PDF]

, 1992
Noradrenaline release from rat brain cortical synaptosomes permeabilized with streptolysin O can be triggered by μM concentrations of free Ca2+. This process was inhibited within minutes by tetanus toxin and its isolated light chain, but not by its heavy

Cholera toxin

Bioscience Reports, 1977
Summary1. Death in several infectious diseases is caused by protein toxins secreted by invading bacteria. Cholera toxin is a simple protein secreted by Vibrio cholerae colonizing the gut; it is responsible for the massive diarrhoea that is cholera.2. The primary action of cholera toxin is an activation of adenylate cyclase, an enzyme found on the inner

The actions of Pasteurella multocida toxin on neuronal cells [PDF]

, 2014
Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) activates the G-proteins Gα, Gα, Gα Gα and Gα by deamidation of specific glutamine residues. A number of these alpha subunits have signalling roles in neurones.

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]

, 2012
Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

The coevolution of toxin and antitoxin genes drives the dynamics of bacterial addiction complexes and intragenomic conflict [PDF]

, 2012
Bacterial genomes commonly contain 'addiction' gene complexes that code for both a toxin and a corresponding antitoxin. As long as both genes are expressed, cells carrying the complex can remain healthy.

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.
