Gangliosides That Associate with Lipid Rafts Mediate Transport of Cholera and Related Toxins from the Plasma Membrane to Endoplasmic Reticulm

Abstract: Cholera toxin (CT) travels from the plasma membrane of intestinal cells to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where a portion of the A-subunit, the A1 chain, crosses the membrane into the cytosol to cause disease. A related toxin, LTIIb, binds to intestinal cells but does not cause toxicity. Here, we show that the B-subunit of CT serves as a carrier for the A-subunit to the ER where disassembly occurs. The B-subunit binds to gangliosides in lipid rafts and travels with the ganglioside to the ER. In many cells, LTI… Show more

“…CTB is internalized in a lipid-raft-dependent manner after binding to its receptor GM1 ganglioside (Fujinaga et al, 2003). CTB internalization was blocked when RAW264.7 cells were treated with MbCD, confirming that lipid-raft-dependent endocytosis was inhibited (Fig.…”

“…The intracellular transport routes used by VTB can vary between cell types (Falguieres et al, 2001); only lipid-raft-associated Gb 3 , dependent on Gb 3 fatty acid composition , may mediate Golgi/ER retrograde transport leading to cytotoxicity. Gb 3 raft association has been implicated in ER translocation of VTA (Smith et al, 2006) and ER retrograde transport of the cholera toxin B subunit is raft dependent (Fujinaga et al, 2003). However, unlike cholera toxin, VTA contains no ER-targeting motif (Jackson et al, 1999) and depends on VTB association for ER targeting, and hence translocation.…”

“…Thereby, CT, as well as ST, seems to use a KDEL-receptor-and COPI-independent pathway to gain access to the ER. The KDEL sequence may rather function to efficiently retain the toxins in the ER, allowing the A1 chain to be transported into the cytosol (Johannes et al, 1997;Fujinaga et al, 2003). The A1 fragment is responsible for the enzymatic activities of the toxin, including NAD hydrolysis in ADP-ribose and nicotinamide, and transfer of ADPribose to Arg 187 of the Îą-subunit of stimulatory protein (G Îąs ), leading to stimulation of AC and elevated intracellular cAMP (de Haan and Hirst, 2004).…”
