RESUMO
Shiga toxin purified to near homogeneity from cell lysates of Shigella dysenteriae 1 inhibited protein and deoxyribonucle acid syntheses in intact HeLa cells. Inhibition was dependent on toxin concentration and time of incubation. A minimal latent period of 30 min was observed with saturating doses of toxin. Ribonucleic acid synthesis, uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid, and maintenance of intracellular K+ concentrations were not affected until well after maximal inhibition of protein and deoxyribonucleic acid syntheses. The inhibitory effect of toxin was sensitive to heat inactivation and was prevented by antibody neutralization. Several cytotoxic components were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified toxin preparations; all inhibited protein and deoxyribonucleic acid syntheses equally.
