Metabolite Identification
Common NameDihydrorhizobitoxine
DescriptionDihydrorhizobitoxine is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of alkaloids, specifically involved in the biosynthetic pathway leading to rhizobitoxine, which is significant in plant-microbe interactions. This compound is synthesized by certain rhizobial strains, such as Bradyrhizobium elkanii, where the enzyme dihydroxyacetone phosphate aminotransferase/dihydrorhizobitoxine synthase (RtxA) plays a crucial role in its production (PMID:21706173 ). The rtxC gene encodes dihydrorhizobitoxine desaturase, which catalyzes the conversion of dihydrorhizobitoxine into rhizobitoxine, underscoring its importance in the metabolic pathway (PMID:16516430 ). Studies have shown that mutants lacking rtxC produce dihydrorhizobitoxine but not rhizobitoxine, indicating that dihydrorhizobitoxine is an immediate precursor in this biosynthetic process (PMID:14711685 ). Furthermore, the presence of dihydrorhizobitoxine does not distinctly affect the nodulation phenotype in legumes, suggesting its role may be more nuanced in symbiotic interactions (PMID:14711685 ). Overall, dihydrorhizobitoxine serves as a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of rhizobitoxine, contributing to the complex chemistry of plant-associated bacteria.
