摘要
A toxin elaborated by Pseudomonas tabaci, which causes wildfire disease in tobacco, has recently been shown to cause convulsions in mice and rats. Its formula is thought to be lactyl diamino hydroxy pimelic acid. It was shown that the toxin in vitro is a competitive inhibitor of cerebral glutamine synthetase. Preincubation studies with the toxin indicate that it is irreversibly bound to the glutamine synthetase molecule in the presence of ATP and Mg2+. The action of the toxin in vitro on glutamine synthetase resembles in many respects the effects of methionine sulfoximime. © 1969.
