چکیده
Four depsipeptides (peptide lactones), called cyanopeptolins A, B, C and D, have been isolated from the cyanobacterium Microcystis sp. PCC 7806. They possess identical structures consisting of cyclic L-glutamic acid-gamma-aldehyde, L-leucine, N-methyl-phenylalanine, L-valine, L-threonine, L-aspartic acid, hexanoic acid and a variable basic amino acid. This variable amino acid can be L-arginine (cyanopeptolin A), L-lysine (cyanopeptolin B), N epsilon-methyl-L-lysine (cyanopeptolin C) and N epsilon,N epsilon-dimethyl-L-lysine (cyanopeptolin D), respectively. The L-glutamic acid-gamma-aldehyde and the amino group of L-leucine form an unusual 3-amino-6-hydroxy-2-oxo-1-piperidine system. L-Threonine is connected to L-valine via its hydroxy-group forming an ester bonding. The hexanoic acid residue is attached to the N-terminal aspartic acid residue which is not a part of the ring structure. The isolation procedure of the four cyanopeptolins as well as structure elucidation are described. Amino acid analysis, GC/MS analysis, FAB-MS and several NMR techniques were used to reveal the structures.

Functional analysis of PilT from the toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806.
The evolution of the microcystin toxin gene cluster in phylogenetically distant cyanobacteria has been attributed to recombination, inactivation, and deletion events, although gene transfer may also be involved. Since the microcystin-producing Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806 is naturally transformable, we have initiated the characterization of its type IV pilus system, involved in DNA uptake in...

The interplay between Fur (ferric uptake regulator) proteins and small, non-coding RNAs has been described as a key regulatory loop in several bacteria. In the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, a large dicistronic transcript encoding the putative membrane protein Alr1690 and an α-furA RNA is involved in the modulation of the global regulator FurA. In this work we report the exis...

Microcystin is a potent inhibitor of eukaryotic protein phosphatases and has been implicated in causing hepatotoxicity to humans and animals worldwide. It is produced primarily by the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa, although the function of the peptide in this micro-organism is unknown. In this study, a microcystin-related protein, MrpA, was identified using a microcystin-l...

Cell walls of Microcystis sp. PCC 7806 were purified from cell homogenates by sucrose density centrifugation and Triton X-100 extraction. The outer membrane contained carotenoids, two major peptidoglycan-associated proteins (Mr 49,000 and 52,000), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as indicated by the presence of 3-hydroxy fatty acids (3-OH-14:0, 3-OH-16:0, 3-OH-18:0), 4-oxo-18:0 fatty acid, and GlcN...

The cyanobacterium, Microcystis aeruginosa, is able to proliferate in a wide range of freshwater ecosystems and to produce many secondary metabolites that are a threat to human and animal health. The dynamic of this production and more globally the metabolism of this species is still poorly known. A DNA microarray based on the genome of M. aeruginosa PCC 7806 was constructed and used to study t...
