UDP-glucosamine as a substrate for dolichyl monophosphate glucosamine synthesis.
The sugar nucleotide analogue UDP-glucosamine was found to function as a sugar donor in microsomal preparations of both chick-embryo cells and rat liver, yielding dolichyl monophosphate glucosamine (Dol-P-GlcN). This was characterized by t.l.c. and retention by DEAE-cellulose. Glucosamine was the only water-soluble product released on mild acid hydrolysis. Dol-P-GlcN did not serve as substrate ...
متن کاملGlucosamine metabolism. V. Enzymatic synthesis of glucosamine 6-phosphate.
Studies in viva on the biosynthesis of n-glucosamine, with the use of specifically labeled glucose in the rat (1,2) and in group A streptococci (3-5) showed that the glucose carbon chain was preserved during its conversion to the hexosamine. Leloir and Cardini (6, 7) noted that extracts obtained from Neurospora crassa converted glutamine and hexose phosphate to glutamic acid and a product tenta...
متن کاملGlucosamine.
Glucosamine is one of the most popular dietary supplements sold in the United States. Most clinical trials have focused on its use in osteoarthritis of the knee. The reported adverse effects have been relatively well studied and are generally uncommon and minor. No significant supplement-drug interactions involving glucosamine have been reported. The National Institutes of Health-sponsored Gluc...
متن کاملUDP-N-methyl-D-glucosamine-phosphate--a possible intermediate of N-methyl-L-glucosamine moiety of streptomycin.
The formation of N-methyl-L-glucosamine moiety of streptomycin from D-glucosamine by Streptomyces griseus was studied. The addition of thymine to the culture medium stimulated the formation of streptomycin and the incorporation of D-glucosamine into N-methyl-L-glucosamine moiety. During a study of sugar nucleotides in the mycelia, a novel UDP-amino sugar was isolated. The compound was formed be...
متن کاملGlucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine as new CEST MRI agents for molecular imaging of tumors
The efficacy of glucosamine (GlcN) and N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) as agents for chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance molecular imaging of tumors is demonstrated. Both agents reflect the metabolic activity and malignancy of the tumors. The method was tested in two types of tumors implanted orthotopically in mice: 4T1 (mouse mammary cancer cells) and MCF7 (human mamm...
