Saframycin Mx1, a new natural saframycin isolated from a myxobacterium.
A new natural saframycin was discovered in the culture broth of the myxobacterium, Myxococcus xanthus strain Mx x48. The fermentation and isolation of the antibiotic are described. The name, saframycin Mx1, is proposed. The compound appears to interact with cellular DNA.
متن کاملA new Myxococcus xanthus gene cluster for the biosynthesis of the antibiotic saframycin Mx1 encoding a peptide synthetase.
The gene cluster for the biosynthesis of the heterocyclic quinone antibiotic saframycin Mx1 of Myxococcus xanthus DM504/15 was inactivated and tagged by Tn5 insertions. The tagged genes were cloned in Escherichia coli and used to select overlapping cosmid clones spanning 58 kb of the M. xanthus genome. Gene disruption experiments defined a > or = 18 kb contiguous DNA region involved in saframyc...
متن کاملPreparation of tricyclic lactam model compounds of renieramycin and saframycin anticancer natural products from common intermediate.
Tricyclic lactam model compounds of the left half (ABC ring) of renieramycin and saframycin anticancer natural products were prepared from common intermediate 6a. Readily available alcohol 6a was converted into enamide 8, and this was followed by transformation into 6b through a hydrobromination reaction in a stereoselective manner. Some diastereomers at C-6 to C-11a of the tricyclic lactam mod...
متن کاملIdentification of GAPDH as a protein target of the saframycin antiproliferative agents.
Saframycin A (SafA) is a member of a class of natural products with potent antiproliferative effects in leukemia- and tumor-derived cells. This activity is frequently conjectured to derive from the ability of saframycins to covalently modify duplex DNA. We used a DNA-linked affinity purification technique to identify GAPDH as a protein target of DNA-small molecule adducts of several members of ...
متن کاملBiosynthetic studies on saframycin A, a quinone antitumor antibiotic produced by Streptomyces lavendulae.
The biosynthesis of saframycin A, a heterocyclic quinone antitumor antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces lavendulae 314, was studied by feeding experiments with 14C and 13C precursors. Highly increased production of saframycin A and prolongation of the maximum production period of saframycin A were attained by constant pH control of the culture and by addition of chloramphenicol to the culture....
