Photoactivated perylenequinone toxins in fungal pathogenesis of plants

[Review of ]. FEMS MICROBIOLOGY LETTERS, 252(2), 197–206.

By: M. Daub n, S. Herrero n & K. Chung*

author keywords: plant disease; non-specific toxin; active oxygen; pyridoxine; zinc cluster transcription factor
MeSH headings : Ascomycota / genetics; Ascomycota / metabolism; Light; Molecular Structure; Mycotoxins / chemistry; Mycotoxins / metabolism; Mycotoxins / toxicity; Perylene / analogs & derivatives; Perylene / chemistry; Perylene / metabolism; Perylene / toxicity; Photosensitizing Agents / toxicity; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Reactive Oxygen Species / metabolism
TL;DR: This review focuses on the well studied perylenequinone toxin, cercosporin, produced by species in the genus Cercospora, with the characterization of genes encoding a polyketide synthase and a major facilitator superfamily transporter representing the first and last steps of the biosynthetic pathway.

CURRENT GENETICS, 43(6), 415–424.

By: K. Chung*, M. Daub n & M. Ehrenshaft n

author keywords: photosensitizer; singlet oxygen; toxin; transcription factor; uracil transporter; zinc finger DNA-binding domain

2002 journal article

Functional expression and cellular localization of cercosporin-resistance proteins fused with the GFP in Cercospora nicotianae

CURRENT GENETICS, 41(3), 159–167.

By: K. Chung n, M. Ehrenshaft n & M. Daub n

author keywords: photosensitizer; singlet oxygen; fungi; pyridoxine
MeSH headings : Ascomycota / drug effects; Ascomycota / genetics; Ascomycota / metabolism; Base Sequence; Blotting, Western; DNA Primers; Fungal Proteins / genetics; Fungal Proteins / metabolism; Green Fluorescent Proteins; Luminescent Proteins / metabolism; Microscopy, Confocal; Perylene / analogs & derivatives; Perylene / pharmacology; Recombinant Fusion Proteins / genetics; Recombinant Fusion Proteins / metabolism; Transformation, Genetic
TL;DR: Transformation of these constructs into strains mutant in these respective genes resulted in green-fluorescent transformants complemented for the mutant phenotype, a result inconsistent with microscopic observation and computer sequence analysis, which suggests that CRG1 is a membrane protein.
