Transaminase Activity in Neurospora crassa
It is now believed that the amino groups of isoleucine and valine are accepted by their respective carbon chains during biosynthesis via a transamination. Most of the evidence for this hypothesis has been derived from experiments on isoleucineless and valineless mutants of Escherichia coli and Neurospora crassu (l-4). It is not positively established whether this transamination step can be medi...
متن کاملAdenylate cyclase activity in Neurospora crassa.
Adenylate cyclase, the enzyme responsible for cyclic adenylate synthesis has been found in membrane fractions of animal cells (l-4). This enzyme system is stimulated by several hormones, showing a wide range of specificity. The occurrence of a similar enzyme activity has been also demonstrated in Escherichia coli and Bacillus liquejaciens (5-7)) but in these organisms the mechanism that regulat...
متن کاملRapid microtiter assays for poxvirus topoisomerase, mammalian type IB topoisomerase and HIV-1 integrase: application to inhibitor isolation.
We have developed microtiter assays for detecting catalysis by type IB topoisomerases and retroviral integrases. Each assay employs model DNA substrates containing biotin in one strand and digoxigenin in another. In each case action of the enzyme results in the formation of a single DNA strand containing both groups. This allows the reaction product to be quantified by capturing biotinylated pr...
متن کاملTopoisomerase poisoning activity of novel disaccharide anthracyclines.
Doxorubicin and idarubicin are very effective anticancer drugs in the treatment of human hematological malignancies and solid tumors. These agents are well known topoisomerase II poisons; however, some anthracycline analogs recently have been shown to poison topoisomerase I. In the present work, we assayed novel disaccharide analogs and the parent drug, idarubicin, for their poisoning effects o...
متن کاملMutagenic activity of topoisomerase I inhibitors
Topoisomerase I-directed agents are now in Phase I and II clinical trials and show great promise as potentially important agents for cancer chemotherapy. Because of their mechanism of action they may also be potential mutagens; however, their mutagenicity and oncogenicity still remain to be elucidated. We have previously shown that VP-16, a topoisomerase II-directed agent, induces sister chroma...
