Trichothecene production and the relationship to vegetative compatibility groups in shape Fusarium poae

Twenty-two Norwegian and two Polish isolates of Fusarium poae were cultured on rice and in two liquid media, MOSS and MYRO. All samples were analysed for trichothecenes by gas chromatography mass-spectrometer. Association of trichothecene production with vegetative compatibility groups was studied in the F. poae isolates. Twenty of the isolates produced the type A trichothecenes diacetoxyscirpenol or monoacetoxyscirpenol in at least one of the media, in the concentration range of 0.01 to 65 μg ml^-1 in the liquid culture and 0.1 to 67 μg g^-1 on rice. The other group of trichothecenes detected were of type B; nivalenol and its two acetyl-derivatives 4-acetylnivalenol and diacetylnivalenol. Twelve of the strains produced at least one of these metabolites in the concentration range of 0.01 to 7 μg ml^-1 in the liquid culture and 0.1 to 18 μg g^-1 on rice (sum of nivalenol and its acetylated derivatives). A significant correlation was observed between the two groups of toxins (logarithm). None of the isolates produced T-2 or HT-2 toxin. In a previous study these isolates were divided into 13 vegetative compatibility groups. Significant variation in the trichothecene production was observed between different vegetative compatibility groups, but also to some extent within the same group. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

人γ－精浆蛋白的亲和纯化及其糖基化分析

目的:从人精液中提纯γ-精浆蛋白并对其生物学特性进行鉴定。 方法:应用饱和硫酸铵法从小鼠腹水中纯化出抗γ-精浆蛋白的单克隆抗体E4B7,将其共价交联到CNBr-Sepharose4B上,制备成免疫亲和层析柱,用该层析柱亲和纯化经饱和硫酸铵粗提的精液标本。纯化产物分别用SDS-PAGE、Western-blot及ELISA进行生物学特性鉴定,最后经PNGase F、Endo-H酶消化后进行糖基化分析。结果:SDS-PAGE电泳表明纯化蛋白的相对分子量约为44KD,Western-blot及ELISA鉴定显示该蛋白可与抗γ-精浆蛋白的单抗E4B7特异性结合。对纯化蛋白无论是单用Endo-H酶消化,还是同时用Endo-H酶和PNGase F酶共同消化,消化产物电泳后相对分子量均降低到34KD左右,而单独用PNGase F酶消化后相对分子量没有改变。Western-blot及ELISA鉴定显示糖苷酶处理后的纯化蛋白仍可与单抗E4B7特异性结合。结论:成功纯化出N-糖基化形式的γ-精浆蛋白,这为下一步筛选人源化抗体奠定了纯的抗原基础。     

Effect of toxins on arachidonic acid metabolism in rat cultured pulmonary alveolar macrophages

The action of a trichothecene (T-2), microcystin-LR and saxitoxin on arachidonic acid metabolism in cultured rat alveolar macrophages was studied. Pulmonary macrophages exposed to T-2 trichothecene were stimulated to synthesize and release large amount of thromboxane B2 (TxB2) and 6-Keto F1 alpha. Microcystin-LR induced significant release of prostaglandins F2 alpha (140%), PGE2 (175%) and TxB2 (169%) compared to controls. Saxitoxin induced TxB2 release by 37%. Arachidonic acid release was stimulated by all three toxins. The release of arachidonic acid and its metabolites in alveolar macrophages exposed to T-2 toxin was partially blocked by fluocinolone (1 microM). These results suggest that macrophages synthesize and release inflammatory mediators in response to toxin exposure, and fluocinolone may protect against T-2 toxicosis.     

Immunochemical analysis of trichothecenes produced by various fusaria

The production of type A trichothecene mycotoxins by 19 Fusaria, including 12Fusarium sporotrichioides, 4F. chlamydosporum and 3F. graminearum at 15°C and 25°C over a 35-day period was analyzed by ELISA using antibodies cross-reactive with most type A trichothecenes after conversion to T-2 tetraol tetraacetate. The toxin production peaked at 20–25 days of incubation with maximum yield between 4–6 mg type A trichothecene/ml of culture medium for 5F. sporotrichioides cultures and between 1 to 2 mg/ml for 6F. sporotrichioides cultures. OneF. sporotrichioides produced 700 µg type A trichothecenes/ml of culture medium. Detectable type A trichothecene was also found in the culture extracts ofF. chlamydosporum andF. graminearum, but the yield was very low (less than 100 µg/ml). Quantitative determination of individual trichothecenes was achieved by separation of different toxin in HPLC and followed by ELISA analysis. Eight to 10 immunoreactive peaks, corresponding to various type A trichothecenes, were detected in all the fungal extracts. T-2 tetraol (T-2-4ol), 4-acetyl-T-2 tetraol (4-Ac-T-2-4ol), neosolaniol (NEOS), diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS), HT-2 and T-2 toxin accounted for more than 85% of the total toxins. In general, low temperature was preferred for total type A trichothecene production. More T-2-4ol, 4-Ac-T-2-4ol, HT-2 and DAS were produced at 25°C. In contrast, more T-2 toxin and NEOS were produced at 15°C. Transformation of T-2 toxin and NEOS to polar metabolites such as T-2-4ol, 4-acetyl-T-2-4ol and HT-2 by various strains were observed at both temperatures after 25 days incubation.     

Preparation and characterization of the deepoxy trichothecenes: deepoxy HT-2, deepoxy T-2 triol, deepoxy T-2 tetraol, deepoxy 15-monoacetoxyscirpenol, and deepoxy scirpentriol.

The production of deepoxy metabolites of the trichothecene mycotoxins T-2 toxin and diacetoxyscirpenol, including deepoxy HT-2 (DE HT-2), deepoxy T-2 triol, deepoxy T-2 tetraol, deepoxy 15-monoacetoxyscirpenol, and deepoxy scirpentriol is described. The metabolites were prepared by in vitro fermentation with bovine rumen microorganisms under anaerobic conditions and purified by normal and reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Capillary gas chromatographic retention times and mass spectra of the derivatized metabolites were obtained. The deepoxy metabolites were significantly less toxic to brine shrimp than were the corresponding epoxy analogs. Polyclonal and monoclonal T-2 antibodies were examined for cross-reactivity to several T-2 metabolites. Both HT-2 and DE HT-2 cross-reacted with mouse immunoglobulin monoclonal antibody 15H6 to a greater extent than did T-2 toxin. Rabbit polyclonal T-2 antibodies displayed greater specificity to T-2 toxin compared with the monoclonal antibody, with relative cross-reactivities of only 17.4, 14.6, and 9.2% for HT-2, DE HT-2, and deepoxy T-2 triol, respectively. Cross-reactivity of both antibodies was weak for T-2 triol, T-2 tetraol, 3'OH T-2, and 3'OH HT-2.     

A genetic and biochemical approach to study trichothecene diversity in Fusarium sporotrichioides and Fusarium graminearum

The trichothecenes T-2 toxin and deoxynivalenol (DON) are natural fungal products that are toxic to both animals and plants. Their importance in the pathogenicity of Fusarium spp. on crop plants has inspired efforts to understand the genetic and biochemical mechanisms leading to trichothecene synthesis. In order to better understand T-2 toxin biosynthesis by Fusarium sporotrichioides and DON biosynthesis by F. graminearum, we compared the nucleotide sequence of the 23-kb core trichothecene gene cluster from each organism. This comparative genetic analysis allowed us to predict proteins encoded by two trichothecene genes, TRI9 and TRI10, that had not previously been described from either Fusarium species. Differences in gene structure also were correlated with differences in the types of trichothecenes that the two species produce. Gene disruption experiments showed that F. sporotrichioides TRI7 (FsTRI7) is required for acetylation of the oxygen on C-4 of T-2 toxin. Sequence analysis indicated that F. graminearum TRI7 (FgTRI7) is nonfunctional. This is consistent with the fact that the FgTRI7 product is not required for DON synthesis in F. graminearum because C-4 is not oxygenated.     

A yeast bioassay for trichothecenes

Like all eucaryotic cells, yeasts are sensitive to trichothecenes, especially T-2 toxin and verrucarin A. Based on this sensitivity, a yeast bioassay was developed to evaluate the toxicity of corn samples. The bioassay was optimized using spiked maize extracts. The toxicity of samples was defined as toxicity equivalent to a certain concentration of T-2 toxin standards. The assay can be performed on crude extracts, but the results are more precise after column clean-up. The test can also be used for the screening of trichothecene toxicity in general. The relative standard deviation (RSD) at 85 % growth inhibition (EC85) was 4.5% for the T-2 toxin standards (n = 8). This corresponds to an initial T-2 toxin concentration of approximately 58 ppb in the corn sample. Samples containing 188 and 113 ppb T-2 toxin caused a growth inhibition higher than 85%, whereas samples with toxin concentrations of 56 and 19 ppb had a growth inhibition less than 85%. Therefore the test can be used for the qualitative evaluation of corn samples up to a level of 58 ppb +/- 2.8 ppb. The bioassay is easy to perform with minimum requirements for equipment. Results can be obtained within 24 h and a large number of samples can be analysed daily. The costs are low and the results obtained are repeatable. With some modifications this test can be used for toxicity studies on trichothecene metabolites as well as for extracts with unknown compounds with properties similar to trichothecenes.     

Swine refusal factors elaborated by Fusarium strains and identified as trichothecenes.

Fusarium poae (Peck) Wollenw. NRRL 3287, F. nivale (Fr.) Ces. NRRL 3289, and F. moniliforme Sheldon NRRL 3197, each grown on cracked corn (13 days at 28 degrees C), produced refusal factors in pig bioassays. Substantial quantities of trichothecenes were detected in the refused corn: T-2 toxin (30 micrograms/g) was detected in corn fermented with the F. poae strain; the level of vomitoxin (1 microgram/g) in corn cultured with F. nivale did not account for the 48% refusal response in the pigs tested. The F. moniliforme concomitantly produced T-2 toxin (33 micrograms/g) and vomitoxin (1.5 micrograms/g). This strain's taxonomic position was reexamined, and it is shown to be a cultural variant of the species F. tricinctum (Cda.) Sacc.     

Trichothecenes accumulated in liquid culture of a mutant of Fusarium sporotrichioides NRRL 3299.

A UV-generated mutant of Fusarium sporotrichioides NRRL 3299 was altered in its ability to biosynthesize T-2 toxin, as shown by a rapid screen with monoclonal antibodies to T-2. This stable mutant accumulated two trichothecenes that were not observed in liquid cultures of the parent strain. The two compounds were identified as 3,15-diol 12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene and 3,15-diol 12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene 3-acetate on the basis of their nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra. This is the first report of either of these two compounds as secondary metabolites of F. sporotrichioides and of a trichothecene acetylated at C-3 by this species.
