Structure of syringotoxin, a bioactive metabolite of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae.
The covalent structure of syringotoxin, a bioactive metabolite of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae isolates, pathogenic on various species of citrus trees, has been deduced from 1D and 2D 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra combined with extensive FAB-MS data and results of some chemical reactions. Similarly to syringomicins and syringostatins, produced by other plant pathogenic strains of P. syringae pv. syringae, syringotoxin is a lipodepsinonapeptide. Its peptide moiety corresponds to Ser-Dab-Gly-Hse-Orn-aThr-Dhb-(3-OH)Asp-(4-Cl)Thr with the terminal carboxy group closing a macrocyclic ring on the OH group of the N-terminal Ser, which in turn is N-acetylated by 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid.
