Mechanism Of Toxicity | Enniatins are toxic due to their ability to act as ionophores, changing ion transport across membranes and disrupting the ionic selectivity of cell walls. In the membrane, enniatins form a dimeric structure and are able to transport monovalent ions (especially K+, Mg2+,Ca2+ and Na+) across the membranes. This effect is particularly harmful in mitochondrial membranes, resulting in the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. They are also know to inhibit several enzymes, including acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. Enniatins are cytotoxic and can cause DNA fragmentation, induce apoptosis, and disrupt the ERK signalling pathway. They can also inhibit the activity of membrane-located ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, multidrug pumps which affect the bioavailability of xenobiotics and pharmaceuticals. |
