What is PHOMOPSIN A?
The Uses of PHOMOPSIN A
Phomopsin A is a an acidic 13-membered cyclic hexapeptide-like metabolite with three unusual amino acids linked in an ‘ansa’ macrocycle with a tripeptide tail, terminating in a dicarboxylic acid. Phomopsin A is a potent mycotoxin produced by the fungus, Phomopsis leptostromiformis, and causes lupinosis in livestock fed infected lupins. Phomopsin A is an important bioprobe for understanding cellular structural proteins. It binds selectively to dimeric tubulin at a site overlapping that of vinblastine and maytansine, inhibiting the formation of the microtubule spindle to block cell division. Uniquely, phomopsin A protects tubulin from decay.
The Uses of PHOMOPSIN A
Phomopsin A is a potent microtubule inhibitor.
What are the applications of Application
Phomopsin A is a peptide mycotoxin and potent microtubule inhibitor that interacts near the vinblastine binding site.
Definition
ChEBI: Phomopsin A is an oligopeptide.
Biological Activity
phomopsin a is a cyclic hexapeptide mycotoxin that inhibits β-tubulin.phomopsins are a family of mycotoxins produced by the fungus phomopsis leptostomiformis grows on lupins, which cause lupinosis, a severe liver disease of grazing animals [1][2].microtubules are one of the major components of the cytoskeleton that are essential in several cellular functions such as cell division and morphogenesis. α- and β-tubulins polymerize into microtubules.phomopsin a is a cyclic hexapeptide mycotoxin that binds β-tubulin in a vinca domain, partly overlapping with the site targeted by vinblastine and other tubulin inhibitors [2][3]. phomopsin a noncompetitively inhibited the binding of radiolabeled vinblastine to tubulin with ic50 and ki values of 0.8 μm and 2.8 μm, respectively. phomopsin a potently inhibited tubulin-dependent gtp hydrolysis and nucleotide exchange on tubulin [2]. phomopsin a, a vinca domain antimitotic peptide, also inhibited microtubule assembly [3][4]. phomopsin a inhibited microtubule growth, modulated the dynamics of microtubules, and induced the self-association of tubulin dimers into single-walled rings and spirals [4].
Enzyme inhibitor
This mycotoxin and antibiotic (FW = 789.24 g/mol; CAS 64925-80-0) is obtained from Diaporthe toxica (formerly Phomopsis leptostromiformis), a fungus that grows mainly within lupin stems, the consumption of which leads to lupinosis in sheep grazing on lupin stubble. Intoxication results in liver damage, disorientation, blindness, lethargy and death in severe cases. Phomopsin A is a 13-membered ether oxygen-containing macrolide that blocks tubulin polymerization (Ki <1 μM). It also inhibits vinblastine binding to tubulin and, in common with vinblastine and maytansine, enhances colchicine binding. Phomopsin A and the depsipeptide, Dolastatin 10, bind to a site adjacent to the vinca alkaloid and nucleotide sites. This mycotoxin induces tubulin oligomerization into ring structures that cannot form microtubules. Scatchard analysis suggests two classes of binding sites: a high-affinity site (K1 = 1 x 10–8 M) and a low-affinity site (K2 = 3 x 10–7 M). Phomopsin A also inhibits rhizoxin binding, with a Ki of 0.8 x 10–8 M, suggesting that the high-affinity site of phomopsin A is identical to the rhizoxin binding site. The development and validation of an LC-MS/MS method for detecting Phomopsin A in lupin and lupincontaining retail food has been reported.
