Fermentative production of amanita toxins by a strain of Galerina marginata.
Among the violently poisonous species of Amanita, none has received more attention than A. phalloides (Fr.) Secr. By 1959, five related cyclopeptidic toxins had been extracted from this mushroom and named phalloidin, phalloin, and a-, j3-, and y-amanitin. T. Wieland and 0. Wieland (Pharmacol. Rev. 11:87, 1959) reviewed the chemistry and toxicology of these compounds. A sixth toxin, phallacidin,...
متن کاملProfiling of Amatoxins and Phallotoxins in the Genus Lepiota by Liquid Chromatography Combined with UV Absorbance and Mass Spectrometry
Species in the mushroom genus Lepiota can cause fatal mushroom poisonings due to their content of amatoxins such as α-amanitin. Previous studies of the toxin composition of poisonous Lepiota species relied on analytical methods of low sensitivity or resolution. Using liquid chromatography coupled to UV absorbance and mass spectrometry, we analyzed the spectrum of peptide toxins present in six I...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of α-pyrones
The α-pyrone moiety is a structural feature found in a huge variety of biologically active metabolites. In recent times new insights into additional biosynthetic mechanisms, yielding in such six-membered unsaturated ester ring residues have been obtained. The purpose of this mini-review is to give a brief overview of α-pyrones and the mechanisms forming the basis of their natural synthesis. Esp...
متن کاملNon-ribosomal biosynthesis of linear gramicidins.
It is now well established that the biosynthesis of the cyclic peptides gramicidin S and tyrocidine [2] are synthesized independently of ribosomes and it has been suggested that the linear gramicidins are synthesized by a similar mechanism [3] . However, since no cell free system for the study of the synthesis of this peptide is yet available, it was considered of interest to investigate in who...
متن کاملThe Action of Α-amanitin on Rna Synthesis in Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells
alpha-Amanitin acts in vitro as a selective inhibitor of the nucleoplasmic form B RNA polymerases. Treatment of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with this drug leads principally to a severe fragmentation of the nucleoli. While the ultrastructural lesions induced by alpha-amanitin in CHO cells and in rat or mouse liver are quite similar, the results diverge concerning the effect on RNA synthesi...
