Thaxtomin A is a diketopiperazine phytotoxin produced by plant pathogenic bacteria such as Streptomyces scabies[1-2]. Thaxtomin A disrupts cell wall integrity by inhibiting plant cellulose biosynthesis and induces programmed cell death (PCD) in plant cells. Thaxtomin A can be used in research related to the pathogenic mechanisms of Streptomyces scabiesand the development of novel natural herbicides[3-4].
In vitro, A. thaliana cells were treated with Thaxtomin A (10μM) for 6 hours. Thaxtomin A induced an early, transient Ca²⁺ influx. N. tabacum BY2 cells were treated with Thaxtomin A (20μM) for 6 hours, which did not cause an increase in cytoplasmic Ca²⁺ concentration[5]. A. thaliana cells were treated with Thaxtomin A (2.0–10.0μM) for 24–72 hours. Thaxtomin A caused DNA fragmentation in the nucleus and induced programmed cell death (PCD)[6].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana) suspension-cultured cells; Nicotiana tabacum BY2 suspension-cultured cells. |
Preparation Method | Arabidopsis thaliana suspension cells were grown in Gamborg medium (pH=5.8). Nicotiana tabacum BY2 suspension cells were grown in Murashige and Skoog medium (pH=5.8). All experiments were performed using log-phase cells (4 days after sub-culture for Arabidopsis and 6 days for BY2). Arabidopsis treated with Thaxtomin A (10μM) for 6h, BY2 treated with Thaxtomin A (20μM) for 6h. |
Reaction Conditions | 10 or 20μM; 6h. |
Applications | In A. thaliana cells, 10μM Thaxtomin A induces an early, short-lived Ca2+ influx, which is an upstream event in the signaling pathway leading to Thaxtomin A-induced cell death. In BY2 cells, 20μM Thaxtomin A did not induce a significant increase in cytosolic calcium concentration. |
