Synthesis and processing of killer toxin from Ustilago maydis virus P4.

Abstract:

:The synthesis of toxin protein from Ustilago maydis virus (UmV) strain P4 was studied in vitro and in vivo. The protein synthesized in vitro and in vivo has a molecular weight of approximately 30 kd whereas the native toxin has a molecular weight of about 12 kd. In the presence of protease inhibitors and glycosylation inhibitors, toxin protein synthesized in vivo showed higher molecular weight products that could be immunoprecipitated with toxin antibodies. These results suggest that the UmV P4 toxin protein is synthesized as a preprotein, which upon processing results in the 12 kd secreted form toxin.
