Cyclosporins--new analogues by precursor directed biosynthesis.
Cyclosporin A (ciclosporin), a potent and clinically important immunosuppressive drug (Sandimmun), represents the main component of a group of over 25 closely related, cyclic undecapeptides produced by the fungus Tolypocladium inflatum. By feeding experiments using DL-alpha-allylglycine as precursor, specific incorporation in position 2 was attained leading to [Allylgly2]cyclosporin A. Exogenou...
متن کاملIn vitro biosynthesis of ring-extended cyclosporins.
Cyclosporin synthetase, a multifunctional polypeptide, catalyses the biosynthesis of the set of natural cyclosporins. We report that this enzyme is also capable of introducing a beta-alanine into position 7 or 8 of the ring instead of the alpha-alanines present at these positions in cyclosporin A. This leads to 34-membered rings in contrast to the 33-membered ring of the cyclo-undecapeptide cyc...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of @Carotene by Cell-free Extracts of Phycomyces blakesleeanus
Most information on the biosynthesis of carotenoids is from experiments with fungi, especially Phycomyces blakesleeanus and Mucor hiemalis; with bacteria, notably the photosynthetic bacteria, Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rhodopseudomonas spheroides; and with carrot roots and homogenates, tomato fruit and homogenates, and algae and etiolated seedlings. Synthesis in vitro of carotenoids by the above...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of desthiobiotin in cell-free extracts of Escherichia coli.
Cell-free extracts of Escherichia coli were active in catalyzing the synthesis of a biotin vitamer from 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid. The vitamer was identified as desthiobiotin on the basis of its chromatographic and electrophoretic characteristics and its biotin activities for a variety of microorganisms. The reaction was stimulated five-fold by bicarbonate, suggesting that an "active CO(2)" wa...
متن کاملThe biosynthesis of ferredoxin in a cell-free system.
The investigation reported in this communication was concerned with the biosynthesis of ferredoxin in a cell-free system. A cell-free system, with the ability to incorporate amino acids into peptides and proteins, was developed from Cl. pasteurianum, and its requirements were established. After the incorporation of L-alanine-C(14), ferredoxin-C(14) was isolated in crystalline form with the aid ...
