HC toxin produced by the fungal pathogen Cochliobolus carbonum of maize (Zea mays) inhibits histone deacetylase activity.

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

HC toxin is a cyclic peptide. It is synthesized continuously

by two specific tetrapartite cyclic peptide synthetases

(HTS1 and HTS2) and then exported outside the fungal cell.

In maize (Zea mays) leaves, the HC toxin inhibits histone deacetylases to effect changes in host gene expression, presumably those genes involved in defense against C. carbonum.
