Abstract excerpt
During the intoxication of mammalian cells by ricin, the catalytically active A chain must cross the membrane of an intracellular compartment in order to reach its ribosomal substrates in the cytosol. The actual site of ricin A chain translocation is unclear, and conflicting views hold that it enters the cytosol from endosomes or from an early compartment of the secretory pathway, possibly the lumen of the...
