・HUS is most commonly associated with infection with Shigella dysentariae and Escherichia coli O157:H7-- both express shiga-toxin.

Composed of two components, A and B.

The B component binds to the cell membrane and allows entry of the A toxin. This component inactivates ribosomes, thereby stopping protein synthesis, which leads to cell death.

HUSは赤痢と大腸菌O-157.

腎不全、微小血管の溶血性貧血、DIC、発熱を引き起こす。

トキシンAがリボソームを無効化→タンパク合成阻害→細胞死の流れ。

 

・HUSの特徴は血小板減少、腎不全、溶血性貧血

Clinical features of HUS include:

・thrombocytopenia

・microangiopathic hemolytic anemia

・acute renal failure

 

The toxin produced by Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) over-activates adenylate cyclase by disabling the G-inhibitory protein.

百日咳菌の毒素はアデニル酸シクラーゼを活性化。

 

The toxin produced by Corynebacterium diphtheriae (C. diphtheriae) inactivates elongation factor (EF)-2 by adenosine diphosphate ribosylation.

ジフテリア菌はEF-2の不活性化。
