Fusicoccin (Fusicoccin A) stabilizes a complex between 14-3-3 and the stress response regulator GCN1, inducing GCN1 turnover and neurite outgrowth (EC
50
=29 mM).
Fusicoccin A activates the plasma membrane H
+
-ATPase by stabilizing its binding to 14-3-3 proteins, which results in water loss and the wilting of infected plants. Fusicoccin A decreases the proliferation and migration of human GBM cell lines in vitro, including several cell lines that exhibit varying degrees of resistance to pro-apoptotic stimuli. The IC
50
growth inhibitory concentration of fusicoccin A is 92 µM in the U373-MG cells and 83 µM in the Hs683 glioma cells.
