The role of TcdB and TccC subunits in secretion of the photorhabdus Tcd toxin complex [PDF]

, 2013
The Toxin Complex (TC) is a large multi-subunit toxin encoded by a range of bacterial pathogens. The best-characterized examples are from the insect pathogens Photorhabdus, Xenorhabdus and Yersinia.

Gene-trap mutagenesis identifies mammalian genes contributing to intoxication by Clostridium perfringens ε-toxin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The Clostridium perfringens ε-toxin is an extremely potent toxin associated with lethal toxemias in domesticated ruminants and may be toxic to humans. Intoxication results in fluid accumulation in various tissues, most notably in the brain and kidneys ...

Expression Profiles of Genes Encoded by the Supernumerary Chromosome Controlling AM-Toxin Biosynthesis and Pathogenicity in the Apple Pathotype of Alternaria alternata

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007
The apple pathotype of Alternaria alternata produces host-specific AM-toxin and causes Alternaria blotch of apple. Previously, we cloned two genes, AMT1 and AMT2, required for AM-toxin biosynthesis and found that these genes are encoded by small ...
