Abstract excerpt
We have here used diphtheria toxin as a tool to investigate the type of endocytosis used by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked molecule, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked version of the diphtheria toxin receptor that is able to mediate intoxication. The receptor is expressed in HeLa cells where clathrin-dependent endocytosis can be blocked by overexpression of mutant dynamin. Diphtheria toxin intoxicates...
