Endogenous Lipoxin A 4 Biosynthesis Gerard
Lipoxin A 4 (LXA 4 ) is a potent endogenous lipoxygenase-derived eicosanoid with antiinflammatory and proresolving properties. Supraphysiological levels of LXA 4 are generated during infection by Toxoplasma gondii , which in turn reduces interleukin (IL) 12 production by dendritic cells, thus dampening Th1-type cell-mediated immune responses and host immunopathology. In the present work, we sou...
متن کاملThe stereochemistry of betulaprenol biosynthesis.
By using stereospecifically double-labelled radioactive mevalonates it was shown that betulaprenols-6 to -9, found in the woody tissue of Betula verrucosa, each contain three biogenetically trans-isoprene residues and that the remaining residues are biogenetically cis. The results obtained with these radioactive mevalonates also indicated that the activity of isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase...
متن کاملAspects of the stereochemistry of torularhodin biosynthesis.
1. The incorporation of [2-(14)C]acetate, [2-(14)C]mevalonic acid and [2-(14)C,2-(3)H(2)]-mevalonic acid into torulene and torularhodin by Rhodotorula rubra and Rhodotorula glutinis was studied. 2. A recovery of 14.3% of the label was obtained on decarboxylation of the torularhodin biosynthesized from [2-(14)C]mevalonic acid. 3. An analysis of the (3)H/(14)C ratio in torularhodin gave a value o...
متن کاملThe Stereochemistry of Complex Polyketide Biosynthesis
Polyketides are a diverse class of medically important natural products whose biosynthesis is catalysed by polyketide synthases (PKSs), in a fashion highly analogous to fatty acid biosynthesis. In modular PKSs, the polyketide chain is assembled by the successive condensation of activated carboxylic acid-derived units, where chain extension occurs with the intermediates remaining covalently boun...
