    Notes: Abstract A large number of protein toxins having enzymatically active A- and B-moieties that bind to cell surface receptors must be endocytosed before the A-moiety is translocated into the cytosol where it exerts its cytotoxic action. The accumulated information about the most well-studied toxins has provided a detailed picture of how they exploit the membrane trafficking systems of cells, and studies of toxin trafficking have revealed the existance of new pathways. The complexity of different endocytic mechanisms, as well as the multiple routes between endosomes and the Golgi apparatus and retrogradely to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), are being unravelled by investigations of how toxins gain access to their targets. With increasing information about the internalization and intracellular trafficking of these opportunistic toxins, new avenues have been opened for their application in areas of medicine such as drug delivery and therapy.

    Notes: Summary The activity of the main base-extruding mechanism in Vero cells, the Na+-independent Cl−/HCO 3 − antiport, increases 5- to 10-fold when the cytosolic pH (pH i ) is increased over a narrow range close to neutrality. We have studied the effect on this regulation of stimulation and inhibition of protein kinase C by short-term and long-term treatment with the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). After short-term treatment with TPA to stimulate the kinase, the threshold value for activation of the antiport is shifted to a more acidic pH. After prolonged treatment with TPA to downregulate protein kinase C the sensitivity of the antiport to variation in proton concentration was lowered, possibly by reducing the number of essential protonbinding sites. Concomitantly, the steady state pH i of the cells was increased. The data indicate that protein kinase C is involved in the regulation of the Na+-independent Cl−/HCO 3 − antiport.

    Notes: Abstract Internal pH (pH i ) is in Vero cells regulated mainly by three antiports. Na+/H+ antiport and Na+-dependent Cl+/HCO 3 + antiport increase pH i in acidified cells, and Na+-independent Cl+/HCO 3 + antiport lowers pH i in cells after alkalinization. The activities of the antiporters were altered in cells after exposure to 41–45°C. Under such conditions the Na+/H+ antiport and the Na+-dependent Cl+/HCO 3 + antiport were both stimulated, whereas the Na+-independent Cl+/HCO 3 + antiport was inhibited in such a way that a higher pH value was required to activate it. This alteration was also induced by some other forms of cellular stress, but did most likely not involve stress proteins as protein synthesis was not required. The possibility of regulation by alteration in protein phosphorylation is discussed.

    Notes: [Auszug] A431 cells bind and internalize Shiga toxin but are completely resistant to it. Butyric acid sensitizes MCDK cells to Shiga toxin4, so we tested whether A431 cells could also be sensitized by this compound and found that incubation of A431 cells with butyric acid for 48 h did indeed sensitize the ...

    Notes: The anion requirement for toxic action of diphtheria toxin and modeccin was studied. In Cl--free Hepes buffer made isotonic with mannitol, cells were insensitive to diphtheria toxin and modeccin. Just 2 mM NaCl was sufficient to obtain full toxic activity of modeccin, whereas 140 mM NaCl was required for maximal intoxication with diphtheria toxin. Br- could substitute for Cl-. NO3-, I- and ClO3- were less efficient than Cl-, whereas SO42- and SCN- were unable to replace Cl-. Cl- deprivation both reduced the ability of cells to bind diphtheria toxin and prevented bound toxin from intoxicating the cells. The binding of modeccin was not reduced. SITS (4-acetamide-4′-isothio-cyano-stilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid), an inhibitor of Cl- entry, protected against diphtheria toxin and modeccin, indicating that Cl- transport is required for intoxication.

    Notes: When Vero cells were depleted of potassium, the cells were protected against diphtheria toxin, Potassium deletion of Vero cells strongly reduced the binding of the toxin to cell surface receptors. Likewise, potassium depleted L-cells were protected against pseudomonas toxin. Diphtheria toxin binding was completely restored upon addition of potassium to the cells. This restoration was not prevented by inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide. When cells were depleted of potassium in the presence of metabolic inhibitors, and then treated with diphtheria toxin, protein synthesis was reduced to the same extent as in cells with normal intracellular level of potassium. The results indicate that potassium depletion of Vero cells reduces the ability of the cells of bind diphtheria toxin by an ATP requiring process, and that binding, endocytosis and transfer of diphtheria fragment A across the membrane may occur at low intracellular levels of potassium.

    Notes: L cells and mouse 3T3 cells, which are very sensitive to Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (PEA), were protected with weak bases and low concentrations of monensin. BHK cells and a number of other cell lines which are much less sensitive to PEA were much less protected under these conditions. Trifluoperazine, dansylcadaverine, and several other calmodulin antagonists strongly sensitized BHK cells to the toxin whereas they did not affect the sensitivity of the mouse 3T3 and L cells. The sensitization of the BHK cells was counteracted by treatment with weak bases or low concentrations of monensin. Calmodulin antagonists also sensitized cells to toxin which had become inaccessible to antitoxin, indicating that the effect of the calmodulin antagonists is exerted on a process taking place after the toxin is endocytosed.

    Notes: Diphtheria toxin linked by a disulfide bridge to concanavalin A was highly toxic to HeLa S3 and Vero cells, as well as to murine L cells. The cells could be protected with α-methyl mannoside, indicating that the conjugate binds mainly through its concanavalin A moiety. Treatment of Vero cells with phospholipase C, TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate), and vanadate, which strongly reduce the ability of the cells to bind free diphtheria toxin, had little protective effect against the conjugate, whereas SITS (L-acetamido-4′-isothiocyano-stilbene-2,2′disulfonic acid), which inhibits diphtheria toxin binding, as well as the subsequent entry, protected Vero cells, but not L cells. Both types of cells are protected against the conjugate by NH4Cl and monensin, indicating that an acidified compartment is necessary for entry into the cytosol. Exposure of cells, bound with surface conjugate, to low pH induced entry of the toxin into Vero cells, but not into L Cells. Phospholipase C, TPA, and vanadate did not protect L cells against the conjugate. It is concluded that toxin in the conjugate enters L cells by a route which involves low pH, but which is not identical to that in Vero cells.
