Biosynthesis of penicillins; utilization of deuterophenylacetyl-N15-dl-valine in penicillin biosynthesis.
In Paper I in this series (2) the stimulation of penicillin production by certain compounds containing the phenylacetyl group was reported. It was realized that a stimulation of yield of this biological product following addition of a given substance to the medium may result from any one of several possible metabolic mechanisms. The stimulating substance may act as a vitamin or growth promoter,...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Valine and Isoleucine
The isotope studies of Strassman et al. (3, 4) first implicated cu-acetolactate and cu-aceto-cY-hydroxybutyrate as biosynthetic precursors of valine and isoleucine, respectively. The observed accumulation of acetolactate by Escherichia coli (5, 6) and of the decarboxylation products of acetolactate and acetohydroxybutyrate by Neurospora crassa (7) when mutants of these organisms are grown with ...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Valine and Isoleucine
Evidence published in recent years has shown that the biosynthesis of valine and isoleucine proceeds by a similar sequence of reactions (24). Fig. 1 depicts the reactions considered to be involved. In this report only Reactions II, III, and IV will be considered. Reaction II, the isomerization of the Lu-hydroxy$keto acid (ac-acetolactate for valine biosynthesis and a-aceto-a-hydroxybutyrate for...
متن کاملRegulation of Aspergillus nidulans penicillin biosynthesis and penicillin biosynthesis genes acvA and ipnA by glucose.
Expression of the Aspergillus nidulans penicillin biosynthesis genes acvA and ipnA, encoding delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine synthetase and isopenicillin N synthetase, respectively, was analyzed. The intergenic region carrying the divergently oriented promoters was fused in frame in both orientations to Escherichia coli lacZ and E. coli uidA reporter genes. Each construct permi...
متن کاملThe role of valine in the biosynthesis of penicillin N and cephalosporin C by a Cephalosporium sp.
1. The production of penicillin N, but not that of cephalosporin C, was inhibited by the addition of d-valine to suspensions in water of washed mycelium of Cephalosporium sp. 8650. The production of cephalosporin C was selectively inhibited by gamma-hydroxyvaline. 2. l-[(14)C]Valine was taken up rapidly and virtually completely by suspensions of washed mycelium but d-[(14)C]valine and alpha-oxo...
