Tolaasin, a toxic secretion by Pseudomonas tolaasii, is the cause of bacterial brown blotch disease of edible mushrooms.[1] Tolaasin is composed of 18 amino acids, including a beta-hydroxy-octanoic acid chain located at the N terminus.[2]Tolaasin is a 1985 Da lipodepsipeptide non-host specific toxin. In addition to forming an amphipathic left handed alpha-helix in a hydrophobic environment, the toxin has been shown to form Zn2+-sensitive voltage-gated ion channels in planar lipid bilayers and to catalyze erythrocyte lysis by a colloid osmotic mechanism.[3] At high concentrations, tolaasin acts as a detergent that is able to directly dissolve eukaryotic membranes.[1] The fungal cell membranes are disrupted by the lipopeptides through the formation of trans-membrane pores[2] Tolaasin pores disrupt the cellular osmotic pressure, leading to membrane collapse. Compounds that inhibit the toxicity of tolaasin have been identified from varying food additives. Tolaasin cytotoxicity can be effectively inhibited by food detergents, as well as sucrose and polyglycerol esters of fatty acids.[4]
 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
