Application

Retro-2 has been used to estimate retrograde trafficking of Shiga toxin subunit B (STxB)-Cy3.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Retro-2 is a non-toxic inhibitor of the endosome-to-Golgi retrograde transport that selectively protect cells from ricin, cholera toxin, and Shiga-like toxins, without affecting compartment morphology, endogenous retrograde cargos, or other trafficking steps.

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) causes significant morbidity and mortality in humans worldwide. HSV-1 enters epithelial cells via an endocytosis mechanism that is low-pH dependent. However, the precise intracellular pathway has not been identified, including the compartment where fusion occurs.

The parasitophorous vacuoles (PVs) that insulate Leishmania spp. in host macrophages are vacuolar compartments wherein promastigote forms differentiate into amastigote that are the replicative form of the parasite and are also more resistant to host responses. We revisited the biogenesis
