Origin of the sarcosine molecules of actinomycins.

1. Streptomyces V-187 produces on minimal medium a mixture composed mainly of actinomycin C(1) (actinomycin D) and actinomycin A(1) (actinomycin I). If sarcosine is added to the medium, the micro-organism produces, in addition to actinomycins C(1) and A(1), actinomycin F(8) (actinomycin II) and actinomycin F(9) (actinomycin (III), characterized by the substitution by sarcosine of one or both th...

Incorporation of sarcosine into the actinomycins synthesized by Streptomyces antibioticus.

Sarcosine is an amino acid apparently not widely distributed in Nature. As a free amino acid, sarcosine has been demonstrated in the radial caeca of the starfish Astropecten aurantiacus (Kossel & Edlbacher, 1915), in the muscles of Elasmobranchii (Tarr, 1958) and in the reindeer moss, Cladonia itlvatica (Linko, Alfthan, Miettinen & Virtanen, 1953). Sarcosine has been found bound in peptides in ...

Evaluation of GNMT Gene Expression in Prostate Cancer Tissues using Real-Time PCR

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In the present study, the expression level of glycine N-methyl transferase gene (GNMT) was investigated in prostate cancer tissue. The GNMT enzyme is encoded by the GNMT gene. Increased GNMT gene expression increases the conversion of glycine to sarcosine and results in the e...

Isolation, purification, and characterization of pipecolic acid-containing actinomycins, Pip 2, Pip 1 , and Pip 1 .

Streptomyces antibioticus synthesizes several new actinomycins when DL-pipecolic acid is provided in the culture medium. Three of the compounds (Pip 2, Pip lar, and Pip Ifi) were isolated, purified, and characterized. Amino acid hydrolysates revealed that these antibiotics contain threonine, valine, sarcosine, and N-methylvaline but differ from actinomycins normally synthesized in the imino aci...

Comparison of the efficacy of methotrexate and actinomycin D in the treatment of patients with stage I low risk gestational tro-phoblastic neoplasia (GTN)

  Background : Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) refers to malignant lesions that arise from abnormal proliferation of placental trophoblast. Even in its metastatic forms GTN is curable with a cure rate of 90-100 %. Currently, methotrexate with or without folic acid, andactinomycin D is recommended for low risk GTN. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of methotrexate and ac...
