| Common Name | Altertoxin-1 |
| Description | Altertoxin-1 is an altertoxin, which is a mycotoxin of Alternaria fungi. Altertoxins are important contaminants in cereals, vegetables, and fruits, as well as in the ground, on wood or walls. Studies have shown altertoxins to be toxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic. In particular, they have been associated with esophageal cancer in humans. (W827, W829) |

| Mechanism of Action | Altertoxin-1 has been shown to have genotoxic and mutagenic properties. It has demonstrated DNA-damaging activities such as single-strand and double-strand DNA breaks, DNA-intercalating, and DNA cross-linking, as well as induction of DNA repair synthesis and inhibition of DNA replication. These effects are thought to be at least partially due to its ability to bind to the DNA minor groove with high affinity, which inhibits the activity of DNA-acting enzymes such as topoisomerase.

2. DNA topoisomerase 1
Releases the supercoiling and torsional tension of DNA introduced during the DNA replication and transcription by transiently cleaving and rejoining one strand of the DNA duplex. Introduces a single-strand break via transesterification at a target site in duplex DNA. The scissile phosphodiester is attacked by the catalytic tyrosine of the enzyme, resulting in the formation of a DNA-(3'-phosphotyrosyl)-enzyme intermediate and the expulsion of a 5'-OH DNA strand. The free DNA strand then undergoes passage around the unbroken strand thus removing DNA supercoils. Finally, in the religation step, the DNA 5'-OH attacks the covalent intermediate to expel the active-site tyrosine and restore the DNA phosphodiester backbone (By similarity). Regulates the alternative splicing of tissue factor (F3) pre-mRNA in endothelial cells.

3. DNA topoisomerase 2-alpha
Control of topological states of DNA by transient breakage and subsequent rejoining of DNA strands. Topoisomerase II makes double-strand breaks. Essential during mitosis and meiosis for proper segregation of daughter chromosomes.

4. DNA topoisomerase 2-beta
Control of topological states of DNA by transient breakage and subsequent rejoining of DNA strands. Topoisomerase II makes double-strand breaks. Indirectly involved in vitamin D-coupled transcription regulation via its association with the WINAC complex, a chromatin-remodeling complex recruited by vitamin D receptor (VDR), which is required for the ligand-bound VDR-mediated transrepression of the CYP27B1 gene.
