Phycomysterols and other sterols from the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus.

چکیده
In the search for novel bioactive products from filamentous fungi, sterols and triterpenoids found in Phycomyces blakesleeanus were analyzed using semipreparative HPLC, GC-MS, and NMR techniques. Structures proposed for the three new compounds identified, phycomysterol A (1), phycomysterol B (2), and neoergosterol (3), were confirmed by chemical synthesis. Phycomysterols possess a new natural 19-norergostane skeleton with an aromatic B ring. Phycomysterol A showed anti-HIV activity.

Phycomyces is a fungal producer of -carotene and other beneficial metabolites. Several erg mutants of Phycomyces, originally selected to study the effects of membrane alteration on physiological responses, have now been used to gain information about sterol biosynthesis in filamentous fungi. One mutant, H23, and its progeny were found to be blocked at episterol C-5 dehydrogenase and did not pro...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of Phycomyces blakesleeanus ferritin.
Ferritin was isolated from the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus and compared biochemically and immunologically with horse spleen ferritin. Phycomyces and horse spleen ferritins were shown to exhibit similar electrophoretic patterns on polyacrylamide gels. Both preparations yielded an identical single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-containing polyacrylamide gels. Tryptic digests of Phycomyces fer...

متن کاملTransformation of Phycomyces blakesleeanus to G-418 resistance by an autonomously replicating plasmid.
The fungus, Phycomyces blakesleeanus, shows many well-defined responses to a number of external stimuli. Genetic analysis shows that at least eight genes are involved in Phycomyces sensory transduction. As a first step toward the molecular analysis of these genes and their products, we have developed a transformation protocol for Phycomyces by using a plasmid containing the kanamycin-resistance...
متن کاملTwo Origins for the Gene Encoding α-Isopropylmalate Synthase in Fungi
BACKGROUND The biosynthesis of leucine is a biochemical pathway common to prokaryotes, plants and fungi, but absent from humans and animals. The pathway is a proposed target for antimicrobial therapy. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we identified the leuA gene encoding alpha-isopropylmalate synthase in the zygomycete fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus using a genetic mapping approach with cr...
