A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

The Cytotoxic Necrotizing Factor 1 (CNF1) is a toxin produced by pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli responsible for extra-intestinal infections. CNF1 deamidates Rac1, thereby triggering its permanent activation, and worsening inflammatory reactions. Activated Rac1 is prone to proteasomal degradation. There is no targeted therapy against CNF1, despite its clinical relevance. In this work, we developed a fluorescent, cell-based immunoassay to screen for inhibitors of CNF1-induced Rac1 degradation among 1,120 mostly approved drugs. Eleven compounds prevented CNF1-induced Rac1 degradation and five showed also a protective effect on CNF1-induced multinucleation. At last, lasalocid, monensin, bepridil and amodiaquine protect cells from both diphtheria toxin and CNF1 challenges. These data highlight potential drug repositioning to fight several bacterial toxi-infections and Rac1-based diseases.
