Endosomal ricin transport: involvement of Rab4- and Rab5-positive compartments

Abstract: Transport of the ribosome-inactivating protein ricin through endosomes was studied in A431 cells expressing Rab5-, Rab4-, and Rab11-GFP. It was shown that Rab5- and Rab4-positive functional domains of early endosomes are involved in ricin transport. Ricin enters cells by both clathrin-dependent and clathrin-independent mechanisms. The main pool of internalized toxin accumulates in early endosomes and remains associated with them for a long time. In contrast to earlier observations, current observations indicat… Show more

“…Although the release of endocytosed toxins back into the extracellular medium has been previously described for the plant toxin ricin (88)(89)(90) and for anthrax toxin (91), neither of those toxins has been reported to follow the endocytic recycling route (91,92). The release of endocytosed ricin seems to occur through a mechanism involving exocytosis of multivesicular bodies (89), allowing intoxication of bystander cell populations (90).…”

“…This protein consists of 2 subunits, binding (B) and catalytic (A). The binding subunit, lectin, is responsible for interaction of the toxin with plasma membrane receptors, its internalization, intracellular transport, and the release from the luminal surface of cell organelles to ribosoma [8,9]. One A-subunit can inactivate up to 1500 ribosomes per minute, which leads to apoptosis activation and cell death.…”

“…Ricin, a ribosome-inactivating protein with lectin properties, binds to various cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids and is endocytosed via both clathrin-dependent and various clathrinindependent mechanisms (Sandvig and van Deurs 1996;Lord and Roberts 1998;Sandvig et al 2002). Moisenovich et al (2004) were interested in the precise pathway that ricin takes within the endosomal compartment. The small GTPases Rab4, Rab5, and Rab11, which participate in the regulation of endosomal transport in early/sorting endosomes (particularly Rab4 and 5) and the pericentriolar recycling compartment (Rab 11; Trischler et al 1999), were tagged with GFP and transfected into human epidermoid cancer cells A431, where they served as markers for the various endosomal compartments.…”
