Helminthosporium maydis T toxin increased membrane permeability to Ca/sup 2 +/ in susceptible corn mitochondria
Abstract
Though Helminthosporium maydis race T (HmT) toxin decreased active Ca/sup 2 +/ uptake into mitochondria isolated from susceptible (T) but not resistant (N) corn. The mode of toxin action is not understood. This study shows that HmT toxin or A23187 (a Ca/sup 2 +/ ionophore) dissipated a Ca/sup 2 +/ gradient in T mitochondria. However, HmT toxin had no effect on Ca/sup 2 +/ gradients in N mitochondria or microsomal vesicles from T or N corn. The results suggest that HmT toxin increased membrane permeability to Ca/sup 2 +/ in mitochondria of T corn specifically.
