Biosynthesis of monensin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The biosynthesis of monensin by Streptomyces cinnamonensis was studied by using (14)C-labeled glucose, acetate, propionate, butyrate, and methionine. The results indicated that the antibiotic is synthesized from five acetate, seven propionate, and one butyrate molecules. The o-methyl group of monensin is derived from methionine, whereas the terminal hydroxymethyl group is incorporated from acetate.

Intermediates in monensin biosynthesis: A late step in biosynthesis of the polyether ionophore monensin is crucial for the integrity of cation binding
Polyether antibiotics such as monensin are biosynthesised via a cascade of directed ring expansions operating on a putative polyepoxide precursor. The resulting structures containing fused cyclic ethers and a lipophilic backbone can form strong ionophoric complexes with certain metal cations. In this work, we demonstrate for monensin biosynthesis that, as well as ether formation, a late-stage h...

متن کاملMeaA, a putative coenzyme B12-dependent mutase, provides methylmalonyl coenzyme A for monensin biosynthesis in Streptomyces cinnamonensis.
The ratio of the major monensin analogs produced by Streptomyces cinnamonensis is dependent upon the relative levels of the biosynthetic precursors methylmalonyl-coenzyme A (CoA) (monensin A and monensin B) and ethylmalonyl-CoA (monensin A). The meaA gene of this organism was cloned and sequenced and was shown to encode a putative 74-kDa protein with significant amino acid sequence identity to ...
متن کاملCrotonyl-coenzyme A reductase provides methylmalonyl-CoA precursors for monensin biosynthesis by Streptomyces cinnamonensis in an oil-based extended fermentation.
It is demonstrated that crotonyl-CoA reductase (CCR) plays a significant role in providing methylmalonyl-CoA for monensin biosynthesis in oil-based 10-day fermentations of Streptomyces cinnamonensis. Under these conditions S. cinnamonensis L1, a derivative of a high-titre producing industrial strain C730.1 in which ccr has been insertionally inactivated, produces only 15 % of the monensin yield...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation and microbial protein synthesis of mid-lactating cows fed high dietary levels of monensin. Twelve Holstein cows were distributed into four 3 × 3 latin squares and assigned to the following treatments: control (CON), monensin 24 (M24, addition of 24 mg monensin/kg diet DM) and monensin 48 (M48, addition of 48 ...
