To the Editor: Vibrio cholerae is a water-borne pathogen that causes a severe watery diarrhea disease known as cholera. On the basis of variable somatic O antigen composition, >200 serogroups of V. cholerae have been recognized. Classical and El Tor are 2 well-established biotypes within the V. cholerae O1 serogroup, and they can be distinguished by differences in their biochemical reactions or...
For use as a mucosal adjuvant for human vaccines, a simple method has been developed for the affinity purification of recombinant cholera toxin B subunit which had been expressed in a safe host, Bacillus brevis. Recombinant cholera toxin B subunit, adsorbed quantitatively to a D-galactose-agarose column, was eluted with an 0.1-0.4 M D-galactose gradient with a yield of > 90%. The cholera toxin ...
Several serotypes of Escherichia coli produce protein toxins closely related to Shiga toxin (Stx) from Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1. These Stx-producing E. coli cause outbreaks of hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans, with the latter being more likely if the E. coli produce Stx2 than if they only produce Stx1. To investigate the differences among the Stxs, which are al...
Hybridoma cell lines which produced monoclonal antibodies against cholera toxin were isolated. These cell lines were detected with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay screening procedure with purified cholera toxin or subunit A of cholera toxin. Seven cell lines were characterized with respect to their reactivity with cholera toxin subunits by Western blot analysis. Five clones produced antibo...
Analysis of 1,180 diarrheal stool samples in Zanzibar detected 247 Vibrio cholerae O1, Ogawa strains in 2009. Phenotypic traits and PCR-based detection of rstR, rtxC, and tcpA alleles showed that they belonged to the El Tor biotype. Genetic analysis of ctxB of these strains revealed that they were classical type, and production of classical cholera toxin B (CTB) was confirmed by Western blottin...
A toxin extracted from heat-inactivated, alkaline-treated Shigella flexneri 2a showed biological properties similar to those of Shigella dysenteria 1 toxin. The S, flexneri 2a toxin was lethal to mice, enterotoxic for ileal loops of rabbits, and cytotoxic for HeLa cells. A serological relationship between S. flexneri 2a and S. dysenteriae 1 toxin was shown with cross neutralization tests.
AB5 toxins are composed of an enzymatic A subunit that disrupts cellular function associated with a pentameric B subunit required for host cell invasion. EcxAB is an AB5 toxin isolated from clinical strains of Escherichia coli classified as part of the cholera family due to B subunit homology. Cholera-group toxins have catalytic ADP-ribosyltransferases as their A subunits, so it was surprising ...
Previous studies have indicated a role for clathrin, the clathrin adaptors AP1 and epsinR, and the retromer complex in retrograde sorting from early/recycling endosomes to the trans Golgi network (TGN). However, it has remained unclear whether these protein machineries function on the same or parallel pathways. We show here that clathrin and the retromer subunit Vps26 colocalize at the ultrastr...
Shigella toxin inhibits polyuridylic acid-directed polymerization of phenylalanine in ribosome-enzyme systems obtained from Escherichia coli or from Shigella dysenteriae. The inhibition is the result of toxin acting on ribosomes to prevent polyuridylic acid attachment.
Diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (D+HUS) is the most common cause of acute renal failure among children. Renal damage in D+HUS is caused by Shiga toxin (Stx), which is elaborated by Shigella dysenteriae and certain strains of Escherichia coli, in North America principally E coli O157:H7. Recent studies demonstrate that Stx also induces von Willebrand factor (VWF) secretion by human...
