  1. Shiga Toxin 2-Induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Is Minimized by Activated Protein C but Does Not Correlatewith Lethal Kidney Injury

    • Toxins

    • Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli produce ribotoxic Shiga toxins (Stx), which are responsible for kidney injury and development of hemolytic uremic syndrome. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response is hypothesized to induce apoptosis contributing to organ injury; however, this process has been described only in vitro.

  25. A prl mutation in SecY suppresses secretion and virulence defects of Listeria monocytogenes secA2 mutants.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The bulk of bacterial protein secretion occurs through the conserved SecY translocation channel that is powered by SecA-dependent ATP-hydrolysis. Many Gram-positive bacteria including the human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, possess an additional non-essential specialized ATPase, SecA2. SecA2-dependent secretion is required for normal cell morphology and virulence in L. monocytogenes, however the mechanism of export via this pathway is poorly understood. L.
