Deoxysugar transfer during chromomycin A3 biosynthesis in Streptomyces griseus subsp. griseus: new derivatives with antitumor activity.
Chromomycin A3 is an antitumor drug produced by Streptomyces griseus subsp. griseus. It consists of a tricyclic aglycone with two aliphatic side chains and two O-glycosidically linked saccharide chains, a disaccharide of 4-O-acetyl-D-oliose (sugar A) and 4-O-methyl-D-oliose (sugar B), and a trisaccharide of D-olivose (sugar C), D-olivose (sugar D), and 4-O-acetyl-L-chromose B (sugar E). The chr...
متن کاملBiogenesis of chromomycin A3 by Streptomyces griseus.
The biosynthesis of chromomycin A3 was investigated using 13C-labeled acetates, methionine and glucose, and 13C,18O-labeled acetate. 13C NMR spectral analysis demonstrated that: Aglycone assembly occurs by combining at least two polyketide chains; three of nine oxygen atoms of the aglycone originate from acetate precursor oxygen atoms; carbon methylations on the aromatic ring at C-7, on the chr...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of A-factor synthesis in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and Streptomyces griseus.
A-factor is a potent pleiotropic effector produced by Streptomyces griseus and is essential for streptomycin production and spore formation in this organism. Its production is widely distributed among various actinomycetes including Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). Genetic analysis of A-factor production was carried out with S. coelicolor A3(2), and two closely linked loci for A-factor mutations ...
متن کاملCredibility of Chromomycin A3 Staining in Prediction of Fertility
Background Chromomycin A3 (CMA3) staining has been used to assess protamine deficiency. The aim of this study was to determine credibility of CMA3 along with semen parameters for assessment of fertility potential. MaterialsAndMethods Semen analysis and CMA3 staining were carried out on 234 fertile and 178 subfertile individuals. Semen analysis was assessed according to WHO criteria. Protamine d...
متن کاملCycloheximide production by Streptomyces griseus: control mechanisms of cycloheximide biosynthesis.
Cycloheximide accumulation in a fermentation medium has been shown to be the product of the balance between synthesis and degradation of this antibiotic. Glucose has been shown to prevent cycloheximide degradation. Cycloheximide has been shown to interfere with its own synthesis probably due to feedback inhibition. Approaches for increasing cycloheximide titers in the light of these findings ar...
