Biosynthesis of N - Glycolyneuraminic Acid
N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is an oncofetal antigen in humans and is developmentally regulated in rodents. We have explored the biology of N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase, the enzyme responsible for conversion of the parent sialic acid, N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) to Neu5Gc. We show that the major sialic acid in all compartments of murine myeloma cell lines is Neu5Gc. Pulse-chas...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of streptococcal cell walls: N-acetyl-D-muramic acid.
Glucose-1-(14)C and acetylglucosamine-1-(14)C were added singly and together with equal amounts of the unlabeled reciprocal to Brain Heart Infusion and used for the culture of Streptococcus pyogenes. The labeling pattern of the rhamnose, glucosamine, and muramic acid in the cell wall supported an intermediary role for acetylglucosamine in providing the C1-C6 moiety of muramic acid. Although rad...
متن کاملBiochemical studies on toxic agents. 12. The biosynthesis of n-propylmercapturic acid from n-propyl halides.
Before the preliminary account of the present work (Grenby & Young, 1959) there appears to have been no report of the isolation of a biosynthetic alkylmercapturic acid. Evidence had been obtained, however, which suggested that alkylmercapturic acids could probably be isolated from the urine of animals which had been dosed with certain alkylating agents. Roberts & Warwick (1957, 1958), by means ...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Ascorbic Acid
hypophosphite for the conversion of D-glucuronolactone into L-ascorbic acid. 9. The presence of borate or Antabuse, each at mm-concentration, inhibits the conversion of Dglucuronolactone into L-ascorbic acid to about 50 %. 10. The optimum conditions for the action of the enzyme system have been studied. 11. The biosynthesized ascorbic acid has been identified by paper chromatography and by a bi...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of aspergillic acid.
of aspergillic acid from isoleucine in replacement cultures (3), there has been no work reported previously on the biogenesis of this antibiotic. In the present work, A. flavus was grown on a medium containing radioactive leucine or isoleucine, and these compounds were found to be incorporated into the aspergillic acid formed. Aspergillic acid was degraded to determine what part of the molecule...
