Resumen
La toxina Shiga entra en la red trans-Golgi y más allá del retículo endoplasmático y la envoltura nuclear. El tratamiento con ácido butírico mejora la entrada celular de la toxina Shiga, lo que sugiere que el transporte retrógrado es clave para la translocación citosólica.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Toxicología molecular y toxicología molecular.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las toxinas proteicas como la toxina de Shiga se dirigen al citosol.
- La entrada en la red trans-Golgi es una vía conocida para algunas toxinas.
- La translocación de toxinas de la red trans-Golgi al citosol sigue sin estar clara.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la vía de transporte intracelular de la toxina de Shiga.
- Para determinar si la toxina Shiga se somete a un transporte retrógrado más allá de la red trans-Golgi.
- Para explorar el papel del ácido butírico en la intoxicación por toxinas de Shiga.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizaron células A431 tratadas con ácido butírico para estudiar el tráfico de toxinas Shiga.
- Rastreó el movimiento de la toxina Shiga endocitada dentro de la célula.
- Se evaluó el efecto del ácido butírico en la sensibilidad celular a la toxina Shiga.
Principales resultados:
- La toxina de Shiga endocitada se observó en la red trans-Golgi, todas las pilas de Golgi, el retículo endoplasmático y la envoltura nuclear.
- El tratamiento con ácido butírico sensibilizó las células A431 a la toxina Shiga.
- Estos hallazgos sugieren que la toxina de Shiga puede someterse a un transporte retrógrado.
Conclusiones:
- La toxina de Shiga exhibe un transporte retrógrado extenso desde la red trans-Golgi hasta el retículo endoplasmático y la envoltura nuclear.
- El tratamiento con ácido butírico facilita la intoxicación de la toxina Shiga, probablemente promoviendo el transporte retrógrado y la subsiguiente translocación citosólica.

00:58Recycling Endosomes and Transcytosis
The recycling endosome, also known as the endosomal recycling compartment (ERC), is a part of the slow-recycling process of the endocytic pathway. Molecules internalized through receptor-mediated endocytosis are either degraded in the lysosomes or are recycled to the plasma membrane through the fast- or slow-recycling route.
The recycling endosome is not a single organelle but an extensively tubulated network of recycling pathways. It functions in storing molecules or transporting them across...

01:45ER Retrieval Pathway
In the secretory pathway, vesicles transport proteins from one cellular compartment to another in forward transport to deliver the protein to its correct location. Occasionally, misfolded proteins and incorrect proteins escape their original compartments, and a retrieval pathway is used to return the escaped proteins to their original compartment.
The ER uses many checkpoints to prevent the entry of incorrectly folded or a resident protein as cargo onto a transport vesicle. These mechanisms...

01:20Cotranslational Protein Translocation
Translocation of proteins across membranes is an ancient process that occurs even in bacteria and archaebacteria. In fact, the components of the translocation machinery are still conserved between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

01:26Insertion of Single-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER
Integral membrane proteins are proteins adhered to the lipid bilayer of a cell organelle or membrane. They can be of two types: transmembrane integral proteins that span the lipid bilayer and monotopic proteins that are attached to either side of the membrane but do not pass through it.
Integral transmembrane proteins possess transmembrane and extra membrane domains. The transmembrane domains are primarily made of 20-25 hydrophobic amino acids arranged in a helical secondary confirmation. These...

01:27Post-translational Translocation of Proteins to the RER
A sizable fraction of proteins destined for ER are first synthesized in the cell cytosol and then transported across the ER membrane–a process called post-translational translocation. Similar to cotranslationally translocated proteins, these proteins also use the Sec translocon complex to enter the ER lumen.
Targeting proteins to the ER
Hsp40 and Hsp70 chaperone molecules bind the translated proteins in the cytosol to prevent their folding. The chaperone binding helps to keep the signal...

01:32Export of Misfolded Proteins out of the ER
After folding, the ER assesses the quality of secretory and membrane proteins. The correctly folded proteins are cleared by the calnexin cycle for transport to their final destination, while misfolded proteins are held back in the ER lumen. The ER chaperones attempt to unfold and refold the misfolded proteins but sometimes fail to achieve the correct native conformation. Such terminally misfolded proteins are then exported to the cytosol by ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathway for...
