    Notes: Summary Production of the dipeptide antibiotic bacilysin byBacillus subtilis 168 was growth associated and showed no evidence of repression by glucose or sucrose. Carbohydrates other than glucose and sucrose yielded lower specific titers of bacilysin. Bacilysin production in three such carbon sources (maltose, xylose, ribose) was delayed until growth slowed down. Ammonium salts were poor for bacilysin production when used as the sole nitrogen source. When added to the standard medium containing glutamate, they suppressed antibiotic production. Aspartate was slightly better than glutamate for antibiotic production as sole nitrogen source. No other nitrogen source tested, including inorganic, organic or complex, approached the activity of glutamate or aspartate. When added to glutamate, casamino acids, phenylalanine and alanine (a substrate of bacilysin synthetase) suppressed bacilysin production while stimulating growth. Phosphate provided for optimum growth and production at 7.5 mM and both processes were inhibited at higher concentrations. Ferric citrate stimulated growth and inhibited bacilysin production, the effects being due to both the iron and the citrate components. Elimination of ferric citrate stimulated production as did increasing the concentration of Mn to its optimum concentration of 6.6×10−4M.

    Notes: Abstract Growing cultures of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum were supplemented with [U-14C]adenosine or [1′-14C]adenosine. 7,8-Didemethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavin (factor F0) and 7-methylpterin were isolated from the culture medium. Hydrolysis of cellular RNA yielded purine and pyrimidine nucleotides. The ribose side chain of proffered adenosine is efficiently incorporated into cellular adenosine and guanosine nucleotide pools but not into pyrimidine nucleotides. Thus, M. thermoautotrophicum can utilize exogenous adenosine by direct phosphorylation without hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond, and AMP can be efficiently converted to GMP. Factor F0 and 7-methylpterin had approximately the same specific activities as the purine nucleotides. It follows that the ribityl side chain of factor F0 is derived from the ribose side chain of a nucleotide precursor by reduction. The pyrazine ring of methanopterin is formed by ring expansion involving the ribose side chain of the precursor, GTP.

    Notes: Abstract From cell extracts of the pseudomurein possessing methanogen Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum two putative pseudomurein precursors were isolated and characterized: (1) an undecaprenyl pyrophosphate activated disaccharide pentapeptide composed of N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid, alanine, glutamic acid and lysine in a molar ratio of 1:1:2:2:1 and (2) the corresponding undecaprenyl pyrophosphate activated tetrapeptide lacking one alanine residue. The isolation of these precursors show that the biosynthesis of the eubacterial murein and the methano-bacterial pseudomurein differs not only in the cytoplasmic step, as recently described, but also in the lipid stage.

    Notes: Abstract The biosynthesis of conglutin δ has been studied in developing cotyledons of Lupinus angustifolius L. Precursors of conglutin δ formed the major sink for [35S]-cysteine incorporated by developing lupin cotyledons, and these precursors were rapidly sequestered into the endoplasmic reticulum. The sequence of a cDNA clone coding for one such precursor of conglutin δ was determined. The structure of the precursor polypeptide for conglutin δ predicted from the cDNA sequence contained an N-terminal leader peptide of 22 amino acids directly preceding a subunit polypeptide of M r 4520, together with a linking region of 13 amino acids and a subunit polypeptide of M r 9558 at the C-terminus. The amino acid sequence predicted from the cDNA sequence showed minor variations from that established by sequencing of the protein purified from mature dried seeds (Lilley and Inglis, 1986). These were consistent with the existence of a multi-gene family coding for conglutin δ. Comparison of the sequences of conglutin δ with those of other 2S storage proteins showed that the cysteines involved in internal disulphide bridges between the mature subunits of conglutin δ, were maintained throughout this family of proteins but that little else was conserved either at the protein or DNA level.

    Notes: Abstract Artemisia annua L. contains artemisinin, an endoperoxide sesquiterpene lactone, mainly in its leaves and inflorescences. This compound and a series of derivatives have attracted attention because of their potential value as antimalarial drugs. In this review a survey of the currently available literature data is given. It includes phytochemical aspects, such as constituents ofA. annua, the artemisinin content during the development of the plant and its biosynthesis, isolation, analysis and stability. Total chemical synthesis of artemisinin is referred to, as well as structure—activity relationships of derivatives and simplified analogues. Pharmacological studies are summarized, including the mechanism of action, interaction of the antimalarial activity with other drugs, possible occurrence of resistance to artemisinin, clinical results, toxicological aspects, metabolism and pharmacokinetics. Finally, plant cell biotechnologyy is mentioned as a possible means to obtain plants and cell cultures with higher artemisinin contents, allowing an industrial production of pharmaceuticals containing this novel drug.

    Notes: Summary Then-acetyl-d-glucosamine-1-phosphate: dolichol phosphate transferase fromArtemia has been partially purified and characterized. The enzyme is solubilized from crude microsomes using Triton X-100, and after detergent removal appears to be associated with phospholipids. Using dolichol phosphate and UDP-n-acetyl-d-glucosamine as substrates, the enzyme catalyzes the formation of dolichol-pyrophosphate-n-acetyl-d-glucosamine. the product identity has been verified by TLC and paper chromatography following mild acid hydrolysis. Under the incubation conditions used only one product is made, i.e., Dol-p-p-GlcNAc. The formation of product is linear with increasing amounts of added protein and with time of incubation. The enzyme requires magnesium ions for activity. Activity of the enzyme is stimulated 6-fold by exogenous dolichol phosphate and is also stimulated by added phospholipids, with optimal activity being obtained in the presence of mixtures of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol. Enzymatic activity is not increased upon addition of GDP-mannose or dolichol phosphate mannose. The enzyme is rapidly inactivated by exposure to several detergents, including Triton X-100 and deoxycholate. The activity is inhibited by tunicamycin and by the purified B2 homologue of this antibiotic. Other antibiotic inhibitors such as diumycin and polyoxin D have little effect on the enzyme. Both the microsomal and solubilized enzyme preparations are inactivated by 70% upon treatment with phospholipase A2; activity may be restored by addition of phospholipids. Following hydrophobic interaction chromatography on Phenyl Sepharose, gel filtration chromatography on Sepharose CL-4B indicated that the enzyme, purified 81-fold, contained phophatidylcholine and phosphatidyl-ethanolamine.
