Dioctatin A is a strong inhibitor of aflatoxin production by Free

Abstract

Dioctatin A (DotA), a metabolite of , is known to be an inhibitor of human dipeptidyl aminopeptidase II. Here, it was found that DotA strongly inhibited aflatoxin production by , with an IC value of 4.0 μM. The mycelial growth of the fungus was not affected by the addition of DotA at a concentration of 50 μM, but inhibition of conidiation was observed at the same concentration. DotA inhibited production of norsolorinic acid, an early biosynthetic intermediate of aflatoxin, and it strongly reduced the mRNA levels of genes encoding aflatoxin biosynthetic enzymes, and significantly decreased the mRNA level of , which encodes a key regulatory protein for aflatoxin biosynthesis. In addition to these genes, the mRNA level of , which encodes a conidiation-specific transcription factor, was also reduced by the addition of DotA. It was also found that DotA dramatically enhanced kojic acid production by the fungus. Furthermore, DotA inhibited production of sterigmatocystin, which is a toxic aflatoxin biosynthetic intermediate, and it also inhibited conidiation in . These results indicate that DotA has pleiotropic effects on regulatory mechanisms of fungal secondary metabolite production and differentiation, leading to inhibition of aflatoxin production.
