Comments Information

    • Function

    • Involved in plant defense. Has antifungal activity against C.sojina but not A.niger and F.solani. Does not have urease or hemagglutination activities. Does not inhibit trypsin. Injection into mice produces toxic effects such as dyspnea, tonic-clonic convulsion and death.

    • Subunit structure

    • Heterodimer of a 27 kDa subunit and a 17 kDa subunit; disulfide-linked.

    • Tissue specificity

    • Expressed in seeds, leaves, roots and stem (at protein level).

    • Induction

    • In seeds, induced by jasmonate.

    • Post-translational modification

    • SBTX is known to be glycosylated but it is not known which one of its two subunits is modified; contains 5% carbohydrates.

    • Toxic dose

    • LD50 is 5.6 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection into mice.

    • Miscellaneous

    • On the 2D-gel the determined pI of SBTX is

    • Biophysicochemical properties

    • pH dependence (Activity decreases below pH 5.5 and above pH 8.0).

Literature Information

  • ·Literature 1

    • Title

    • SBTX, a new toxic protein distinct from soyatoxin and other toxic soybean [Glycine max] proteins, and its inhibitory effect on Cercospora sojina growth.
