چکیده

The biosynthesis of antibiotic 1233A (F-244) was studied by feeding 13C-labeled precursors to the producing organism, Scopulariopsis sp. F-244. 13C NMR spectroscopy established that 1233A is derived from 4 methionines and 7 acetates. Seven acetates are condensed to form a hexaketide and 4 methyl residues from methionine are introduced into the main skeleton. The beta-lactone is derived from the alpha-carboxylic acid of the hexaketide. Since methionine was efficiently incorporated into 1233A, radiolabeled 1233A was prepared biosynthetically by feeding [14C]methionine to the producer. As a result, [14C]1233A was obtained with high specific radioactivity (27.2 muCi/mumols).

Biosynthesis of 4-Formyl-4-imidazoIine-2-on, the Heterocyclic Base of Nikkomycin X

The nucleoside-peptide antibiotic nikkomycin X contains the unusual heterocyclic base 4-formyl-4-imidazoline-2-on. Investigations on the biosynthesis of this base were accomplished in a resting cell system which was optimized in respect to nikkomycin production. Incorporation experiments with [2-l4C]adenine, [8 14C]adenine, [2-14C]glycine, [2-14C]uracil, [U 14C]histidine, and [2-14C]histidine r...

Studies of etamycin biosynthesis employing short-term experiments with radiolabeled precursors.

The biosynthesis of etamycin by Streptomyces griseoviridus was investigated with the precursors, 14C-L-leucine and 14CH3-L-methionine, during short-term incubations. Both radiosotopes are rapidly incorporated into the antibiotic without significant lag. D-Leucine,but not L-leucine,inhibits etamycin formation. The kinetics of incorporation of 14C-L-leucine as well as the inhibitor studies sugges...

Structural basis for the design of potent and species-specific inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA synthases.

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA synthase (HMGS) catalyzes the first committed step in the mevalonate metabolic pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis and serves as an alternative target for cholesterol-lowering and antibiotic drugs. We have determined a previously undescribed crystal structure of a eukaryotic HMGS bound covalently to a potent and specific inhibitor F-244 [(E,E)-11-[3-(hydroxymethyl...

Incorporation of acetate into cephalosporin C.

Cephalosporin C, an antibiotic with structure (I) (Abraham & Newton, 1961; Hodgkin & Maslen, 1961), was first isolated from an impure preparation of the chemically related penicillin NJ [(D-4amino-4-carboxybutyl)penicillin] that had been obtained from the culture fluid of a Cephalosporium sp. (Newton & Abraham, 1956; Abraham & Newton, 1956). The amount of cephalosporin C produced by this organi...
