Abstract

The host-specific toxin from Helminthosporiumcarbonum race 1 was purified from culture filtrates by solvent extraction, gel filtration, and high pressure liquid chromatography. High resolution mass spectrometry of the purified toxin gave a MW of 436.2318 and an elemental composition C21H32N4O6. Amino acid analysis and proton and13C-NMR indicated a peptide containing four amino acids. Their sequence was determined by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Finally, digestion of the amino acids with D- and L-amino acid oxidases gave the complete structure cyclo[(L-2-amino-9, 10-epoxy-8-oxodecanoyl)-D-prolyl-L-alanyl-L-alanyl].

    Assuming that expression of host defense-related genes is affected by the toxin-mediated inhibition of HDACs, the role of HC-toxin in virulence is considered to be manipulation of host defense responses. HC-toxin consists of four building blocks, d-proline, l-alanine, d-alanine, and L-2-aminoepoxyoxodecanoic acid (AEO), a carbonyl group of the last is crucial for toxicity (Walton, Earle, & Gibson, 1982). As HDACs are prevalent among eukaryotes, the toxin is potentially active against diverse organisms.

    The rest of the structural variants of this HST are designated victorin B, D, E, victoricine and HV-toxin M and have only minor differences from victorin C, for instance – a different degree of chlorination of the leucine residue in victorins B and E (Wolpert et al., 1986). In turn, HC-toxin is a group of cyclic tetrapeptides, of which the main form produced by race 1 isolates is cyclo-(d-proline-l-alanine-d-alanine-L-2-amino-8-oxo-9,10-epoxydecanoic acid) (Walton et al., 1982) (Fig. 1). It is synthetized non-ribosomally by a large enzyme termed HC-toxin synthetase (HTS).
