[Isolation and characteristics of the thermolabile enterotoxin from Escherichia coli strain H74-114]. 1985

M V Stepanova, and Iu V Vertiev, and I A Shaginian, and Iu V Ezepchuk

The modified method for isolation and purification of LT-enterotoxin from Escherichia coli strain H74-114 has been proposed. Modification is based on exclusion of concentration of bacterial cell lysates by 3-5 fold dilution and changing PH during chromatography. The proposed modification permitted to increase the yield of purified and active product 8-10 fold. The obtained preparations are homogenic due to PAAG-SDS data and immunochemical analysis. B-component of TL-enterotoxin is shown to consist of 4 subunits B in contrast to B-component of choleragen, consisting of 5 subunits. The mol mass of A component of both toxins is identical but in contrast to choleragen the component of LT-enterotoxin is not subject to proteolysis.

D002772 Cholera Toxin An ENTEROTOXIN from VIBRIO CHOLERAE. It consists of two major protomers, the heavy (H) or A subunit and the B protomer which consists of 5 light (L) or B subunits. The catalytic A subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments A1 and A2. The A1 fragment is a MONO(ADP-RIBOSE) TRANSFERASE. The B protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the A1 fragment. The A1 catalyzed transfer of ADP-RIBOSE to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G PROTEINS activates the production of CYCLIC AMP. Increased levels of cyclic AMP are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals.
