Accessory toxins of vibriopathogens and their role in epithelial disruption during infection
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018)
Understanding the structure and function of Bacillus thuringiensis toxins
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-01)
As biological control agents take an expanding share of the pesticides market and the production of insect-resistant crops increases, it is essential to understand the structure and function of the active agents, the ...
Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin inhibits the gastrointestinal transit in mice
(Elsevier, 2010-12)
Epsilon toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens type B and D is a potent toxin that is responsible for a highly fatal enterotoxemia in sheep and goats. In vitro, epsilon toxin produces contraction of the rat ileum as the ...
Toxin-antitoxin systems and its biotechnological applications
(2014)
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are important genetic modules composed by two elements: a toxin, that is always a protein, and an antitoxin, that can be a RNA or a protein and neutralizes the toxic effect of toxin. These ...
A natural combinatorial chemistry strategy in acylpolyamine toxins from Nephilinae orb-web spiders
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2005-01-01)
The present study shows how nature combined a small number of chemical building blocks to synthesize the acylpolyamine toxins in the venoms of Nephilinae orb-web spiders. Considering these structures in four parts, it was ...
