Bacterial Toxins and Toxin classification
This document provides an overview of bacterial toxins, classifying them into two main categories: exotoxins that act on specific host sites, and toxins that act intracellularly or on the cell surface. It describes various toxin classes, including their mechanisms of action, examples of toxins that fall into each class, and the consequences of their activities. The classes discussed include toxins that act on the immune system, surface molecules, through pore formation, using the RTX mechanism, by perturbing membranes, targeting insects, and those acting intracellularly on protein synthesis, signal transduction pathways, and other targets. Specific toxins are given for each class along with their producing organisms and molecular activities.

Editor's Notes
- #3 توکسین ها اولین فاکتور ویرولانت باکتریها بودن ک شناخته شدن و همچنین اولین عامل ارتباط بین بیولوژی سلولی و باکتری بودن ک شناخته شد.
- #4 حتی آغاز علم میکروبیولوژی هم با مطالعه توکسین ها اتفاق افتاده و تا همین اواخر هم به کمک تکنولوژی های جدید در حال گسترش ارتباطات بین باکتری و میزبانه.
- #5 Exotoxin: Easily inactivated by formaldehyde, iodine, and other chemicals to form immunogenic toxoids.
- #6 In the first example (figure 34.7a), the exotoxin is produced by bacteria growing in food. When food is consumed, the preformed exotoxin is also consumed. The classical example is staphylococcal food poisoning (see section 39.4) caused solely by the ingestion of preformed enterotoxin. Since the bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) cannot colonize the gut, they pass through the body without producing any more exotoxin; thus, this type of bacterial disease is self-limiting.In the second example (figure 34.7b), bacteria colonize a mucosal surface but do not invade underlying tissue or enter the bloodstream. The toxin either causes disease locally or enters the bloodstream and is distributed systemically where it can cause disease at distant sites. The classical example here is the disease cholera caused by Vibrio cholerae (see section 39.4). Once the bacteria enter the body, they adhere to the intestinal mucosa where they are not invasive but secrete the cholera toxin, which is an AB exotoxin that catalyzes an ADP– ribosylation similar to that of diphtheria exotoxin (figure 34.5b). As a result, cholera toxin stimulates hypersecretion of water and chloride ions and the patient loses massive quantities of water.The third example of exotoxins in disease pathogenesis occurs when bacteria grow in a wound or abscess (figure 34.7c). The exotoxin causes local tissue damage or kills phagocytes that enter the infected area. A disease of this type is gas gangrene (see section 39.3) in which the exotoxin (-toxin) of Clostridium perfringens causes the tissue destruction in the wound.

- #36 قدم مهمی در روشن شدن مکانیزم اثر این توکسین ها برداشته شد این بود ک تونستن ساختار 3بعدی توکسینو در حالی ک همراه NAD هستش، تشخیص بدن. و مشخص شد ک حضور NAD در ساختار توکسین اثر زیادی داره طوریکه اگر NAD همراه توکسین نباشه اصلاٌ توکسین قادر به تشخیص EF-2 نیست.
- #38 Signal transduction از مکانیزم های بسیار حیاطی برای زنده موندن هر سلوله. در سلولهای یوکاریوتی، پیامی ک به سطح سلول میرسه به دو روش به داخل منتقل میشه. ... ... تجمع این ترکیبات حد واسط باعث بهم خوردن مکانیسم های داخل سلول شده و منجر به مرگ میشود.
- #39 The A domain acts on eukaryotic cells by ADP-ribosylating their GTP-binding proteinsThe B domain is a nontoxic oligomer that binds the receptors on the surface of eukaryotic cells and allows the toxicsubunit S1 to reach its intracellular target proteinsrole of many residues of S1 has been tested by site-directed mutagenesis to produce nontoxic mutants of the toxin to be used as vaccines.
- #40 A mRNA molecule is said to be monocistronic when it contains the genetic information to translate only a single protein chain (polypeptide). CT کلرا و توکسین LT ایکولای از لحاظ ساختاری و عملکرد بسیار شبیه هم هستن. CT در محیط کشت پخش میشه ولی توکسین LT در غشا خارجی و متصل به LPS باقی میمونه. ژن توکسین CT بوسیله و فاژ فیلامنتوس منتقل میشه ولی ژن توکسین LT روی پلاسمید قرار داره.
- #41 انتروتوکسین A کلستریدیوم دیفیسیل و سایتو توکسین B اون، در ایجاد اسهال آنتی بیوتیکی نقش زیادی دارن. ژنهای این توکسین ها در لوکوس PaLoc است که حاوی ژنهای اصلی A و B، و ژنهای کمکی C-D است.
- #42 آلفا توکسین مهمترین توکسین کلستریدیوم پرفرینجنس هست و باعث بروز گانگرن میشه. این توکسی در انتشار باکتری نقش مهمی داره. باعث سرکوب ایمنی میزبان و تحریک واکنش های التهابی و تغییر در غلظت کلسیم داخل سلولی میشه. Cel Division Cycle Human CDC42 is a small GTPase of the Rho-subfamily, which regulates signaling pathways that control diverse cellular functions including cell morphology, migration, endocytosis and cell cycle progression.
- #44 Stress fibers are high order structures in non-muscle cells which consist of actin filaments, crosslinking proteins, and myosin II motors. stress fibers have since been shown to play an important role in cell motility and, providing force for a number of cell functions such as cell adhesionand morphogenesis.[2]
- #48 فعالیت اسکلت سلولی توسط پروتئین های G کنترل میشه. Cdc42 ملکولهایی هستن ک کنترل شکل سلولو به عهده دارن. The Ras family is generally responsible for cell proliferation, Rho for cell morphology,
- #49 لیمفوستاتین، پروتئینیه ک توسط ایکولای ترشح میشه و بتازگی کشف شده. نقش توکسینی داره و بطور انتخابی تولید انترلوکین های 2 و4 و 5 و اینترفرون گامارو متوقف میکنه، در نتیجه تکثیر سلول های ایمنی متوقف میشه و در ایمنی اختلال ایجاد میشه.
- #50 iota-like toxins:C. perfringens iota toxin and C. spiroforme and C. difficile ADP-ribosylating toxins
- #51 وزیکول ها از ساختارهای ضروری در فرایند هایی مثل اندوسیتوز به واسطه ریسپتور و اگزوسیتوز هستن. وزیکول ها عمدتاً در شبکه آندوپلاسمی ساخته میشن و پس از تغییراتی در گلژی به سطح سلول میرن.یک نمونه از کاربرد اگزوسیتوز در تنزیم فرایندهای بدن، نقش اون در رهاسازی نوروترنسمیترهاست.
- #52 Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25)SNARE:SNAP REceptorAcetylcholine & neurotransmiters
- #54 Vesicle associated membrane proteins (VAMP) are a family of SNARE proteins with similar structure, and are mostly involved in vesicle fusion.
- #55 سلولهای میزبانو بصورت تکی مورد هدف قرار میده و با سیستم ترشحی وابسته به اتصال، توکسین به سیتوپلاسم سلول هدف منتقل میشه. This definition failed to explain the pathogenicity of many virulent bacteria such as Salmonella, Shigella and Yersinia, which did not release toxic proteins into the culture supernatant.
- #56 فقط شیگلا هایی ک موفق به ترک فاگوزوم میشن میتونن توی میزبان خودشون، آپوپتوز الغا کنن. Ipa توسط سیستم ترشحی نوع 3 به خارج شیگلا فرستاده میشه و بیان ژنهای زیرمجموعه آغاز میشه. بین این زیر واحدها، وجود زیرواحد IpaB برای شروع الغای مرگ سلولی ضروریه. این مکلول روی interleukin-1β ک یکی از افکتورهای مرگ سلولیه اثر میزاره و زمینه گسترش باکتری فراهم میشه.
- #57 مشابه اینویزین شیگلاست و برعکس شیگلا ، سالمونلا از فاگوزوم فرار نمیکنه و داخل فاگوزوم زنده میمونه و تکثیر میکنه.
- #58 ICE: Caspase 1/interleukin-1 converting enzymeis an enzyme that proteolytically cleaves other proteins, such as the precursor forms of the inflammatory cytokinesinterleukin 1-β and interleukin 18, into active mature peptides.Mitogen-activated protein kinases are involved in directing cellular responses to a diverse array of stimuli, such as mitogens, osmotic stress, heat shock.NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) is a protein complex that controls the transcription of DNA. NF-κB is found in almost all animal cell types and is involved in cellular responses to stimuli such as stress, cytokines, free radicals, ultraviolet irradiation, oxidized LDL, and bacterial or viral antigens
- #61 اگزوتوکسینS سودوموناس آئروژینوزا ی توکسینه بادو عملکرد. ADP-ribosyltransferase در دامین سی ترمینال این توکسین قرار داره و بتازگی مسخص شده ک توالی واقع در اِن ترمینال این توکسین باعث گردشدن میزبان میشه.
