Abstract
Dinophysistoxin 1 (DTX1, 1) and okadaic acid (OA, 2), produced by the dinoflagellates Dinophysis spp. and Prorocentrum spp., are primary diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs), which may cause gastric illness in people consuming such as bivalves. Both compounds convert to dinophysistoxin 3 (DTX3, 3; generic name for 1 and 2 with fatty acids conjugated at 7-OH) in bivalves. The enzyme okadaic acid O-acyl transferase (OOAT) is a membrane protein found in the microsomes of the digestive glands of bivalves. In this study, we established an in vitro enzymatic conversion reaction using 4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD)-OA (4), an OA derivative conjugated with (R)-(-)-4-nitro-7-(3-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-APy) on 1-CO2H, as a substrate. We detected the enzymatically produced 3, NBD-7-O-palmitoyl-OA (NBD-Pal-OA), using high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection. We believe that an OOAT assay using 4 will facilitate the fractionation and isolation of OOAT in the future.

Crystal Structure of Okadaic Acid Binding Protein 2.1: A Sponge Protein Implicated in Cytotoxin Accumulation. Chembiochem 2015; 16:1435-9.

Abstract
Okadaic acid (OA) is a marine polyether cytotoxin that was first isolated from the marine sponge Halichondria okadai. OA is a potent inhibitor of protein serine/threonine phosphatases (PP) 1 and 2A, and the structural basis of phosphatase inhibition has been well investigated. However, the role and mechanism of OA retention in the marine sponge have remained elusive. We have solved the crystal structure of okadaic acid binding protein 2.1 (OABP2.1) isolated from H. okadai; it has strong affinity for OA and limited sequence homology to other proteins. The structure revealed that OABP2.1 consists of two α-helical domains, with the OA molecule deeply buried inside the protein. In addition, the global fold of OABP2.1 was unexpectedly similar to that of aequorin, a jellyfish photoprotein. The presence of structural homologues suggested that, by using similar protein scaffolds, marine invertebrates have developed diverse survival systems adapted to their living environments.
