Application

Fusicoccin (Fusicoccin A), a diterpene glucoside phytotoxin, is used to study 14-3-3-dependent processes such as the activation of H+-ATPase in plants and other client proteins with mode III binding motifs. Fusicoccin is an inducer of a catalase inhibitor that leads to oxidative damage in plants.

Other Notes

Fusicoccin (FC) treatment prevents dark-induced stomatal closure, the mechanism of which is still obscure. By using pharmacological approaches and laser-scanning confocal microscopy, the relationship between FC inhibition of dark-induced stomatal closure and the hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) levels in guard cells

Regulatory 14-3-3 proteins activate the plant plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase by binding to its C-terminal autoinhibitory domain. This interaction requires phosphorylation of a C-terminal, mode III, recognition motif as well as an adjacent span of approximately 50 amino acids. Here we

Fluorescent combination: Cell-penetrating probes derived from the diterpene fusicoccin can form ternary complexes with 14-3-3 proteins and phosphopeptide ligands, whereupon the probes site-specifically attach a fluorescent tag onto the surface of the 14-3-3 proteins.

The phytotoxin fusicoccin (FC) was found to induce an increase in apoplastic H₂O₂ content in Arabidopsis thaliana cells, apparently linked to the presence of an as yet unidentified catalase inhibitor detectable even in the external medium of FC-treated cells. This
