Cloning, characterization, and developmental expression of a putative farnesoic acid O-methyl transferase in the female edible crab Cancer pagurus.
Farnesoic acid methyl transferase (FAMTase) catalyzes methylation of farnesoic acid to yield the crustacean juvenoid, methyl farnesoate (MF). A full-length cDNA encoding a 275 amino acid putative FAMTase has been isolated from the mandibular organ of the female edible crab (Cancer pagurus) by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction in conjunction with cDNA library screening. A high degr...
متن کاملCarbocyclic Sinefungin.
(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.
متن کاملThe inhibitory effect of sinefungin on juvenile hormone biosynthesis and development in locusts
The antibiotic fungal metabolite sinefungin is a potent inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionineacceptor methyltransferases. Its effect on insect metabolism and especially on corpora allata farnesoic acid methyltransferase, which catalyzes the penultimate step of juvenile hormone biosynthesis, was investigated in Locusta migratoria. Injection of sinefungin results in a delay of imaginal molt and in su...
متن کاملSteroid Induction of Phenylethanolamine-N-methyl Transferase
Unilateral explants of rat adrenal medullas grown in the anterior chamber of the eye contained very low phenylethanolamine-Nmethyl transferase (PNMT) activity. When animals were treated with dexamethasone for 7 days, PNMT activity rose more than 10-fold. These findings suggest that the increase in PNMT activity produced by glucocorticoids does not require an intact adrenal innervation. (Endocri...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of a tomato salicylic acid methyl transferase and its role in synthesis of the flavor volatile methyl salicylate.
Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is a volatile plant secondary metabolite that is an important contributor to taste and scent of many fruits and flowers. It is synthesized from salicylic acid (SA), a phytohormone that contributes to plant pathogen defense. MeSA is synthesized by members of a family of O-methyltransferases. In order to elaborate the mechanism of MeSA synthesis in tomato, we screened a s...
