Chemical Constituents of the Fruiting Bodies of Clitocybe nebularis and Their Antifungal Activity
نویسندگان
چکیده
During a continuing search for antimicrobial substances from Korean native wild mushroom extracts, we found that the methanolic extract of the fruiting body of Clitocybe nebularis exhibited mild antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi. Therefore we evaluated the antifungal substances and other chemical components of the fruiting body of Clitocybe nebularis, which led to the isolation of nebularine, phenylacetic acid, purine, uridine, adenine, uracil, benzoic acid, and mannitol. Nebularine showed mild antifungal activity against Magnaphorthe grisea and Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and phenylacetic acid potently inhibited the growth of Pythium ultiumand displayed moderate antifungal activity against Magnaphorthe grisea, Botrytis cinerea, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The other isolated compounds showed no antimicrobial activity.

Aspartic Proteases from Basidiomycete Clitocybe nebularis
We have isolated aspartic proteases by affinity chromatography from wild growing basidiomycete Clitocybe nebularis. Pepstatin A sensitive fractions from size exclusion chromatography were subjected to Concanavalin A affinity chromatography. N-terminal sequences of the three bands resolved on SDS-PAGE showed sequence similarity to the A01.018 group of family A1 aspartic proteases of the MEROPS c...

A novel antibacterial protein with a molecular mass of 44 kDa has been isolated from dried fruiting bodies of the wild mushroom Clitocybe sinopica. Sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the protein was composed of two subunits each with a molecular mass of 22 kDa. Its N-terminal amino-acid sequence, SVQATVNGDKML, has not been reported for other antimicrobial prot...

A novel inhibitor of cysteine proteinases has been isolated from fruit bodies of a mushroom Clitocybe nebularis. The inhibitor was purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography and gel filtration, followed by reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography. The active inhibitor has an apparent molecular mass of about 34 kDa by gel filtration and by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis ...
