    Minimalistic mycoplasmas harbor different functional toxin-antitoxin systems - 2 year(s) ago

    Author summary Mycoplasmas belong to a class of cell-wall deficient bacteria characterized by minimal genomes acquired through regressive evolution. Historically, they were thought to lack many of the common bacterial virulence traits including classical exotoxins and toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems. In this work, we confirmed the presence of different functional TA systems in several isolates of…

    Molecular mechanisms of centipede toxin SsTx-4 inhibition of inwardly rectifying potassium channels - 2 year(s) ago

    Inwardly rectifying potassium channels (Kirs) are important drug targets, with antagonists for the Kir1.1, Kir4.1, and pancreatic Kir6.2/SUR1 channels being potential drug candidates for treating hypertension, depression, and diabetes, respectively. However, few peptide toxins acting on Kirs are identified and their interacting mechanisms remain largely elusive yet. Herein, we showed that the…

    Botulism breakthrough? Taming botulinum toxin to deliver therapeutics - 3 year(s) ago

    While rare, botulism can cause paralysis and is potentially fatal. It is caused by nerve-damaging toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum—the most potent toxins known. These toxins are often found in contaminated food (home canning being a major culprit). Infants can also develop botulism from ingesting C. botulinum spores in honey, soil, or dust; the bacterium then colonizes their intestines…

    Study of tarantula toxin opens door to next-gen drugs for chronic pain - 3 year(s) ago

    Tarantula venom is not something people would normally associate with relief from pain, but strangely enough, the ingredients within it could hold the key to new medicines that offer just that, and without some of the common side effects. A new understanding of the way tarantula toxins shut down…
