چکیده
(3aS,4S,6R,6aR)-Tetrahydro-2,2-dimethyl-6-vinyl-3aH-cyclopenta[d][1,3]-dioxol-4-ol, itself available from ribose, provided a convenient entry point for an 18-step preparation of carbocyclic sinefungin. This procedure is adaptable to a number of carbocyclic sinefungin analogs with diversity of heterocyclic base and in the amino acid bearing side chain.

Sinefungin resistance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae arising from sam3 mutations that inactivate the AdoMet transporter or from increased expression of AdoMet synthase plus mRNA cap guanine-N7 methyltransferase
The S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) analog sinefungin is a natural product antibiotic that inhibits nucleic acid methyltransferases and arrests the growth of unicellular eukarya and eukaryal viruses. The basis for the particular sensitivity of fungi and protozoa to sinefungin is not known. Here we report the isolation and characterization of spontaneous sinefungin-resistant mutants of the budding...
متن کاملEncephalitozoon cuniculi mRNA cap (guanine N-7) methyltransferase: methyl acceptor specificity, inhibition BY S-adenosylmethionine analogs, and structure-guided mutational analysis.
The Encephalitozoon cuniculi mRNA cap (guanine N-7) methyltransferase Ecm1 has been characterized structurally but not biochemically. Here we show that purified Ecm1 is a monomeric protein that catalyzes methyl transfer from S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to GTP. The reaction is cofactor-independent and optimal at pH 7.5. Ecm1 also methylates GpppA, GDP, and dGTP but not ATP, CTP, UTP, ITP, or m...
متن کاملCurative and preventive anticryptosporidium activities of sinefungin in an immunosuppressed adult rat model.
An immunosuppressed rat model was used to investigate the anti-Cryptosporidium parvum activity of sinefungin. In infected animals, oral sinefungin therapy resulted in a dose-related suppression of oocyst shedding, which correlated with oocyst disappearance from ileal sections. When administered prior to or on the day of oocyst challenge, sinefungin successfully prevented infection. These data s...
متن کاملChemically-induced affinity star restriction specificity: a novel TspGWI/sinefungin endonuclease with theoretical 3-bp cleavage frequency.
The type IIS/IIC restriction endonuclease TspGWI recognizes the sequence 5'-ACGGA-3', cleaving DNA 11/9 nucleotides downstream. Here we show that sinefungin, a cofactor analog of S-adenosyl methionine, induces a unique type of relaxation in DNA recognition specificity. In the presence of sinefungin, TspGWI recognizes and cleaves at least 12 degenerate variants of the original recognition sequen...
متن کاملDifferential effect of sinefungin and its analogs on the multiplication of three Leishmania species.
Sinefungin and seven analogs were evaluated in vitro for activity against promastigote multiplication of Leishmania donovani, L. tropica, and L. enrietti. Of these compounds, sinefungin, the cyclic derivative, and A9145C were leishmanicidal at concentrations ranging from 0.13 to 2.6 microM. Sinefungin was the most active of these three compounds against L. donovani, and A9145C was most active a...
