Twenty-eight clinical isolates of Yersinia enterocolitica were investigated for their abilities to produce heat-stable enterotoxin (YST). All 21 invasive strains (serogroup O3 biotype 4) carried the previously described gene for YST (yst), with toxin detectable in culture supernatants from 20 strains. One of seven noninvasive, biotype 1A strains also had enterotoxic activity, despite failure to hybridize with a probe for yst. The toxin produced by this noninvasive (serogroup O6) strain resembled YST in terms of molecular size, heat stability, and solubility in methanol. It differed from YST, however, with respect to regulation of its production by temperature and its mechanism of action, which did not appear to involve cyclic GMP.

D006152 Cyclic GMP Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.
