Biosynthetic studies on taxol
The biosynthesis of the plant antitumor agent, taxol, was studied by feeding radioactive or stable isotope-labeled precursors to cut stems or to inner bark tissue of Taxus brevifolia. The labeled taxol was purified to radiochemical purity and subjected to chemical degradation or was analyzed by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. It was demonstrated that in the plant taxol is synthesized fro...
متن کاملBiosynthetic studies on antibiotic A47934.
A47934, a peptide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces toyocaensis, belongs to the glycopeptide class of compounds which includes ristocetin and vancomycin. Incorporation studies with radioisotope-labeled substrates indicated that tyrosine, p-hydroxyphenylglycine, p-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate, acetate, and sulfate were efficiently incorporated into A47934. This is consistent with the reported biosy...
متن کاملBiosynthetic studies on some polyene mycotoxins
Citreoviridin, asteltoxin and aurovertin B are members of a group of mycotoxins which act as inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation in rnitochondria. The biosynthetic origin of the carbon skeleton of these metabolites was studied by incorporation of 13C—labelled precursors: [l—'3C]—, [2—'3C]—, [l,2—'3C2]—, [l—'3C,2—2H3—, and 12—'3C,2—2H3]acetate, (25)—[methyl— 13C ]methionine and [1— 3C]— and ...

subclass and is closely related to Fc-fragment of G3immunoglobulins. The predominant N-terminal amino acid of this protein is glutamic acid in the uncyclized form, and that of another -yHCD is glycine. Studies of the N-terminal peptides indicate that the N-terminal portion of the y3-heavy polypeptide chain is absent from the -yHCD-JM. These findings rule out a process of normal heavy chain init...
متن کاملThe everninomicins. Biosynthetic studies.
The biosynthetic pathways involved in the formation of four everninomicin antibiotics were studied. Carbon-14 labelled substrates added to liquid cultures of Micromonospora carbonacea var. aurantiaca revealed that acetate, malonate and glucose were good precursors. Degradation of the antibiotics revealed the primary importance of acetate and malonate for the synthesis of the dichloroisoevernini...
