Abstract

Tolaasin, a pore-forming toxin, is a 1,985 Da peptide produced by Pseudomonas tolaasii and causes a brown blotch disease on cultivated mushrooms. Tolaasin forms pores on the plasma membrane of various cells including fungi, bacteria, plant as well as erythrocytes, and destroys cell structure. $Zn^{+2}$ has been known to block the tolaasin activity by an unknown mechanism. Thus, we investigated the inhibitory effects of $Zn^{+2}$ on the tolaasin-induced hemolysis to understand the molecular mechanism of tolaasin-induced pore formation. $Zn^{+2}$ and $Cd^{+2}$ inhibited the tolaasin-induced hemolysis in a dose-dependent manner and their Ki values were 170 ${\mu}M$ and 20 mM, respectively. The effect of $Zn^{+2}$ was reversible since the subsequent addition of EDTA chelates $Zn^{+2}$ and removes the inhibitory effect of $Zn^{+2}$. When an osmotic protectant, PEG 2000, was added, the tolaasin-induced hemolysis was not observed. After the removal of osmotic protectant by centrifugation, resuspended erythrocytes with fresh medium were immediately hemolyzed, while the addition of $Zn^{+2}$ prevented from hemolysis, implying that tolaasin-induced pores on the membrane were already formed in the medium containing osmotic protectant. These results suggest that $Zn^{+2}$ inhibits the activity of tolaasin pores and it has minor effects on the membrane binding of tolaasin and the formation of pore.

Tolaasin은 Pseudomonas tolaasii에 의해 생성된 분자량 1,985 Da의 펩티드로서 재배버섯에 갈반병을 유발하는 원인 독소이다. Tolaasin은 곰팡이, 세균, 식물세포 뿐만 아니라 적혈구의 원형질막에 이온통로를 형성하여 세포를 파괴한다. $Zn^{+2}$는 tolaasin의 활성을 저해함이 알려졌으나, 자세한 기작은 밝혀지지 않았다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 tolaasin의 이온통로 형성에 대한 분자기작을 밝히기 위하여, 적혈구 용혈현상에 대한 $Zn^{+2}$의 저해효과를 조사하였다. $Zn^{+2}$와 $Cd^{+2}$은 tolaasin의 용혈활성을 농도의존적으로 저해하였으며, Ki 값은 각각 170 ${\mu}M$과 20 mM 이었다. $Zn^{+2}$의 저해효과는 EDTA의 첨가로 제거되어 $Zn^{+2}$의 효과가 가역적임을 보여준다. 한편, tolaasin과 함께 삼투억제제인 PEG 2000을 가하였을 때, 용혈현상은 나타나지 않았다. 적혈구를 원심분리로 회수하고 PEG 2000을 제거한 후, 신선한 반응용액에 현탁하였을 때, 용혈현상은 즉시 관측되었다. 그러나, 이때에도 $Zn^{+2}$가 존재시에는 용혈현상이 억제되었으며, 이것은 삼투억제제의 처리중에 이미 이온통로가 만들어졌음을 의미한다. 이러한 결과는 $Zn^{+2}$가 tolaasin의 세포막 결합 및 이온통로 형성에는 영향이 적으며, 형성된 이온통로의 활성을 저해함을 보인다.
