Plant-like biosynthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids in Aspergillus fumigatus
Natural product discovery efforts have focused primarily on microbial biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) containing large multimodular polyketide synthases and nonribosomal peptide synthetases; however, sequencing of fungal genomes has revealed a vast number of BGCs containing smaller NRPS-like genes of unknown biosynthetic function. Using comparative metabolomics, we show that a BGC in the huma...
متن کاملInvestigation of Culture Conditions for Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Aspergillus fumigatus
In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus. The effects of three independent variables including glucose content of culture media, initial pH and initial spore concentration on biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles were investigated. These variables affect cell morphology, cell mass, size and morphology of silver nanoparticles and degree of silv...
متن کاملChitin biosynthesis in protoplasts and subcellular fractions of Aspergillus fumigatus.
The biosynthesis of chitin has been obtained in broken mycelia and protoplasts of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. The specific activity of chitin synthase (EC 2.4.1.16) in a membrane preparation from protoplasts derived from the hyphal tips of A. fumigatus was 26.8-fold greater than that of the chitin synthase in broken mycelia, indicating that the active chitin synthase is located primarily ...
متن کاملPresence of isoquinoline alkaloids in molluscan ganglia.
UNLABELLED Tetrahydropapaveroline and reticuline, isoquinoline alkaloids, were purified and identified in the pedal ganglia of the marine mollusk Mytilus edulis. OBJECTIVES To determine the presence of tetrahydropapaveroline and reticuline, isoquinoline alkaloids, in animal tissues previously shown to express opiate receptors. METHODS AND RESULTS This was achieved by high performance liquid...
متن کاملScreening-based discovery of Aspergillus fumigatus plant-type chitinase inhibitors
A limited therapeutic arsenal against increasing clinical disease due to Aspergillus spp. necessitates urgent characterisation of new antifungal targets. Here we describe the discovery of novel, low micromolar chemical inhibitors of Aspergillus fumigatus family 18 plant-type chitinase A1 (AfChiA1) by high-throughput screening (HTS). Analysis of the binding mode by X-ray crystallography confirme...
