| the effects of the carboxyl-terminus amino acids of the shiga toxin b-subunit on retrograde transport. | the shiga toxin b-subunit (stxb), from the enteric pathogen, shigella dysenteriae, is responsible for the attachment of its receptor, globotriaosylceramide (gb3), and navigates the retrograde pathway from the plasma membrane to the endoplasmic reticulum (er). in this study, in order to demonstrate the role of carboxyl-terminus (c-terminus/al) amino acids of the b-fragment on the retrograde transport speed and the retrograde transport pathway, stxb was modified by site-directed mutagenesis and by ... | 2012 | 22552548 |

| subcellular localization of ipac, an invasion plasmid antigen of shigella dysenteriae type 1 and its in-vitro binding capability to mammalian cells. | invasion plasmid antigen c (ipac), a 45-kda protein encoded by an invasion plasmid of shigella, is associated with the invasion of epithelial cells by the bacteria. invasive strains of s. dysenteriae type 1 secreted more proteins into the extracellular environment than a non-invasive strain and secreted more ipac protein. an anti-ipac mouse monoclonal antibody was used as a probe to determine the subcellular localization of ipac and its involvement in invasion of mammalian cells. immunogold labe ... | 1995 | 24414917 |
| regulation of cell-wall morphology and growth encoded by plasmids in shigella dysenteriae type 1. | shigella dysenteriae type 1, isolated locally, was found to contain six plasmids and these could be eliminated using sds. a 70-kb plasmid was necessary to maintain the normal cell-wall morphology. synthesis of nine major membrane proteins (90 to 40 kda) was severely impaired in all-plasmid cured strains. electron microscopy revealed a prominent separation between the outer and inner membranes of the cured strains, indicating that plasmid loss led to defects in the cell envelope. the growth rates ... | 1995 | 24414647 |
