- Nattokinase is a highly purified enzyme which is produced by the fermentation process of soybeans. It is a fibrinolytic enzyme that has been scientifically proven to have many health benefits, primarily for the cardiovascular and circulatory system.he nattokinase enzymes break down the fibers of blood clots (called fibrins), working in the same way as thrombolytic drugs like urokinase and streptokinase. The only difference is that nattokinase is taken orally, whereas the ‘drugs’ are administered intravenously, usually in hospital.

- As proteins, many bacterial toxins resemble enzymes in a number of ways. Like enzymes, they are denatured by heat, acid and proteolytic enzymes, they act catalytically, and they exhibit specificity of action. The substrate (in the host) may be a component of tissue cells, organs or body fluid.he processes by which protein toxins are assembled and secreted by bacterial cells are also variable. Many of the classic exotoxins are synthesized with an NH terminal leader (signal) sequence consisting of a few (1-3) charged amino acids and a stretch of (14-20) hydrophobic amino acids.

- The bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. zinnia (XCZ) is able to rapidly degrade this toxin. Growth of XCZ strains in cercosporin-containing medium leads to the breakdown of cercosporin and to the formation of a non-toxic breakdown product called xanosporic acid.he bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. zinniae (XCZ) is a pathogen of zinnia, causing bacterial leafspot disease. This disease was first reported in Italy in 1929 and in North America in 1972 (1, 15).

Tetrodotoxin Toxicity Puffer fish contain the potent neurotoxin tetrodotoxin. TTX is thought to be synthesized by a bacterial or dinoflagellate species associated with the puffer fish. The toxin is concentrated in the liver, gonads, and skin. The level of toxicity is seasonal, and, in Japan, fugu is served only from October through March.

toxin Exotoxins have specific reaction sites in the host; e.g., tetanus and botulinum exotoxins affect nerve tissue, and streptococcal toxins attack vascular tissue. Plants and animals also produce protein toxins. Some, such as cobra venom, are enzymes that destroy substances in host tissue. Endotoxins are polysaccharide and phospholipid substances found in the cell walls of bacteria that are freed when the cells die and break up.

Enzymes That Scavenge Reactive Oxygen Species Are Down-Regulated Prior to Gibberellic Acid-Induced Programmed Cell Death in Barley Aleurone Abstract. Gibberellins (GAs) initiate a series of events that culminate in programmed cell death, whereas abscisic acid (ABA) prevents this process. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key elements in aleurone programmed cell death.Incubation of barley (Hordeum vulgare) aleurone layers in H 2 O 2 causes rapid death of all cells in GA-but not ABA-treated layers. Sensitivity to H 2 O 2 in GA-treated aleurone cells results from a decreased ability to metabolize ROS.bstract. Gibberellins (GAs) initiate a series of events that culminate in programmed cell death, whereas abscisic acid (ABA) prevents this process. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key elements in aleurone programmed cell death.

toxin Toxins can be products of ordinary metabolism (such as lactic acid), can be produced to kill or immobilize prey (such as the toxins in snake venom), or can be produced for self-defense (such as the cyanide produced by several plants). Toxins produced by bacteria cause disease. See: toxin agent.

- A-B Toxins. Most exotoxins are A-B or type III toxins. A-B toxins consist of two polypeptides. The A polypeptide is the enzyme and the B polypeptide is a binding component. B binds to the cell, the complete toxin is taken into the cell, the two subunits separate, and the A subunit enzymatically kills the cell. Membrane Disrupting Toxins. Type II toxins, disrupt host cell plasma membranes.

ReviewFungi and fungal toxins as weapons For example, other toxins from fungi, which are not found in food, may be more toxic. For this reason a sound knowledge of which fungi produce which toxins (i.e. fungal chemotaxonomy) is crucial. Difficulty exists in defining mycotoxins in a few words. minute percentage of toxic fungal metabolites have been considered seriously as weapons: two (aflatoxins and T-2 toxin; Fig 3) are obviously mycotoxins, whereas one is a toxin from a macroscopic fungus, i.e. amanitin, as mentioned previously.

Xanthomonas campestris Biofilm dispersal in Xanthomonas campestris is controlled by cell-cell signaling and is required for full virulence to plants. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.2003. Volume 100(19).hese effectors may behave avirulently by disguising itself to secrete several hypersensitive reaction and outer proteins in order for interaction to occur with the host cells [13]. X. campestris then targets the vascular tissue causing darkening and marginal leaf chlorosis [1].

- At a chemical level, there are two main types of bacterial toxins, lipopolysaccharides, which are associated with the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria, and proteins, which are released from bacterial cells and may act at tissue sites removed from the site of bacterial growth.he processes by which protein toxins are assembled and secreted by bacterial cells are also variable. Many of the classic exotoxins are synthesized with an NH terminal leader (signal) sequence consisting of a few (1-3) charged amino acids and a stretch of (14-20) hydrophobic amino acids.

Chrysophaentins are competitive inhibitors of FtsZ and inhibit Z-ring formation in live bacteria The bacterial cell division protein FtsZ polymerizes in a GTP-dependent manner to form a Z-ring that marks the plane of division. As a validated antimicrobial target, considerable efforts have been devoted to identify small molecule FtsZ inhibitors.

Cancer Genes Ras gene products are involved in kinase signaling pathways that control the transcription of genes, which then regulate cell growth and differentiation. To turn on the pathway, the ras protein must bind to a particular molecule (GTP) in the cell.To turn the pathway off, the ras protein must break up the GTP molecule. Alterations in the ras gene can change the ras protein so that it is no longer able to break up and release the GTP.These changes can cause the the pathway to be stuck in the on position.o turn the pathway off, the ras protein must break up the GTP molecule.

- Based on test-tube experiments, the number of toxins each nanosponge could absorb depended on the toxin. For example, approximately 85 alpha-haemolysin toxin produced by MRSA, 30 stretpolysin-O toxins and 850 melittin monomoers, which are part of bee venom.he nanosponges absorb damaging toxins and divert them away from their cellular targets. The nanosponges had a half-life of 40 hours in the researchers' experiments in mice. Eventually the liver safely metabolized both the nanosponges and the sequestered toxins, with the liver incurring no discernible damage.
