Tracheal cytotoxin (TCT) is a 921 dalton glycopeptide released by Bordetella pertussis,[1] Vibrio fischeri (as a symbiosis chemical),[2] and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (among other peptidoglycan-derived cytotoxins it produces).[3] It is a soluble piece of peptidoglycan (PGN) found in the cell wall of all gram-negative bacteria,[4] but only some bacteria species release TCT due to inability to recycle this piece of anhydromuropeptide.[5]

Here, we report that Vibrio fischeri also releases TCT, which acts in synergy with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to trigger tissue development in its mutualistic symbiosis with the squid Euprymna scolopes.

A major peptidoglycan fragment released by gonococci is identical to the tracheal cytotoxin of Bordetella pertussis and has been shown to kill ciliated fallopian tube cells in organ culture.
