Characterization of the inositol phosphorylceramide synthase activity from Trypanosoma cruzi.
IPC (inositol phosphorylceramide) synthase is an enzyme essential for fungal viability, and it is the target of potent antifungal compounds such as rustmicin and aureobasidin A. Similar to fungi and some other lower eukaryotes, the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is capable of synthesizing free or protein-linked glycoinositolphospholipids containing IPC. As a first step towards understandi...
متن کاملYM-215343, a novel antifungal compound from Phoma sp. QN04621.
Through our screening for novel antifungal compounds, YM-215343 was found in the culture extract of Phoma sp. QN04621. The structure of YM-215343 was determined by several spectroscopic experiments as a novel compound closely related to apiosporamide and fischerin. YM-215343 exhibited antifungal activity against the pathogenic fungi, Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans and Aspergillus fum...
متن کاملThe protozoan inositol phosphorylceramide synthase: a novel drug target that defines a new class of sphingolipid synthase.
Sphingolipids are ubiquitous and essential components of eukaryotic membranes, particularly the plasma membrane. The biosynthetic pathway for the formation of these lipid species is conserved up to the formation of sphinganine. However, a divergence is apparent in the synthesis of complex sphingolipids. In animal cells, ceramide is a substrate for sphingomyelin (SM) production via the enzyme SM...
متن کاملThe squalestatins, novel inhibitors of squalene synthase produced by a species of Phoma. III. Biosynthesis.
The biosynthetic origin of the carbon and oxygen atoms of the novel fungal secondary metabolite 1 was studied. Incorporation studies with single and multiple labelled 13C precursors indicated that the major portion of the molecule was derived from two polyketide chains made up of acetate units. One of the chains had benzoic acid (which can be derived from phenylalanine) as a starter unit. The r...
متن کاملInhibition of inositol phosphorylceramide synthase by the cyclic peptide aureobasidin A.
By using a detergent-washed membrane preparation, the interaction of the fungal natural product inhibitor aureobasidin A (AbA) with inositol phosphorylceramide synthase (IPC synthase) was studied by kinetic analysis of wild-type and mutant enzyme-catalyzed reactions. AbA inhibited the wild-type enzyme from both Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in an irreversible, time-dependent man...
