Toxic substances formed in or elaborated by bacteria, usually proteins with high molecular weight and antigenicity.
1
Oligomerized Bax may form a pore to release mitochondrial proteins, analogous to the homologous pore-forming domains of bacterial toxins.
2
Of course, "food poisoning" could involve a wide range of things; there are natural, chemical, and bacterial toxins.
3
The Tol system is parasitized by bacterial toxins called colicins, which are imported through the outer membrane using an energy-independent process.
4
This chapter describes in detail the current knowledge of how these bacterial toxins may lead to kidney disease and renal failure.
5
The reported crystallographic structure exhibits an interesting rod-like helical bundle fold with structural similarity to bacterial toxins of the ClyA superfamily.
6
ADP-ribosylation of proteins can profoundly impact their function and serves as an effective mechanism by which bacterial toxins impair eukaryotic cell processes.
7
Further studies on the roles of various inflammatory mediators and bacterial toxins in inducing the sensorineumral hearing loss in otitis media should be pursued.
8
This scheme of amino-acid modification is used not only by bacterial toxins to attack host cells, but also by endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) in mammalian cells.
9
Bacterial toxins produced in the gut enter the circulation and cause a systemic toxemia and targeted cell damage.
