Abstract:
A unique mixture of toxic tunicaininyluracil antibiotics, closely related to the corynetoxins which causc annual ryegrass toxicity and to the tunicamycins, has been identified in rain-damaged, stored wheat implicated in a fatal intoxication of pigs. The toxins, present at a level of approximately 4.5 mg per kg, were isolated by preparative t.1.c. They displayed specific inhibition of uridine diphospho-N-acetylglucosamine : dolichol-phosphate N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase and bacterial inhibition consistent with this type of antibiotic, and produced symptoms in rats identical with

Abstract:
Tunicamycin is a nucleoside antibiotic that inhibits protein glycosylation and palmitoylation. The therapeutic use of tunicamycin is limited in animals because of its toxic effects, particularly in cerebral vasculature. Tunicamycin decreases palmitoylation of the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase, stimulates nitric oxide synthesis, and increases the concentration of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) in bovine aortic endothelial cells (B. J. Buckley and A. R. Whorton. FASEB J. 11: A110, 1997). In the present study, we investigated the mechanism by which tunicamycin alters [Ca2+]iusing

Abstract:
In neuronal growth cones, the advancing tips of elongating axons and dendrites, specific protein substrates appear to undergo cycles of posttranslational modification by covalent attachment and removal of long-chain fatty acids. We show here that ongoing fatty acylation can be inhibited selectively by long-chain homologues of the antibiotic tunicamycin, a known inhibitor of N-linked glycosylation. Tunicamycin directly inhibits transfer of palmitate to protein in a cell-free system, indicating that tunicamycin inhibition of protein palmitoylation reflects an action of the drug separate from its

Abstract:
The effect of tunicamycin, the inhibitor of protein N-glycosylation, on the root and hypocotyl growth of flax seedlings (Linum usitatissimum L.) was studied. It is known that tunicamycin inhibits the first stage of the formation of the oligosaccharide precursor, which is necessary to initiate the synthesis of N-glycoproteins by inhibiting the activity of N-acetylglucosamine phosphotransferase. The blocking by tunicamycin (25 μM) the early stages of N-glycoprotein formation induced growth inhibition in flax seedlings depending on the age of the plants.

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is often used as a surrogate model in molecular studies of the closely related hepatitis C virus. In this report we have examined the effect of the inhibition of glycosylation on the survival and maturation of CSFV. Viral glycoproteins (E(rns), E1, E2) form biologically active complexes - homo- and heterodimers, which are indispensable for viral life cycle. Those complexes are highly N-glycosylated. We studied the influence of N-glycosylation on dimer formation using E(rns) and E2 glycoproteins produced in insect cells after infection with recombinant baculov

Abstract:
The mesodermal capsule of the fetal lung plays a role in differentiation of the respiratory region. It has been proposed for other epithelial organs that the mesodermal capsule influences development by modifying the basal lamina or the extended extracellular matrix. The effect could be on deposition or turnover of collagens, proteoglycans, and/or glycoproteins. This study tests the role of glycoproteins in differentiation of respiratory endings by inhibiting their synthesis with the antibiotic tunicamycin (TM).

ABSTRACT Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a glycoprotein precursor for a number of neuropeptides and peptide hormones. The functional significance of the glycosylation of POMC has never been established. Using the antibiotic tunicamycin to block glycosylation of the prohormone in the mouse pars intermedia, we have compared processing of non-glycosylated prohormone with that of glycosylated prohormone in pulse-chase experiments. The peptides produced from non-glycosylated prohormone were shown to be correct cleavage products. Therefore it was concluded that, with the possible exception of peptide

Abstract:
Tunicamycins are potent antimicrobial agents but are also toxic to mammalian cells, which render them clinically impractical to use to treat infectious diseases. Instead, they have been used extensively as biochemical tools to study the N-linked glycosylation of proteins. However, despite such a routine application, their inhibitory mechanisms are still not clear. The central objective of this thesis was to develop novel tunicamycin analogues that are non-toxic to eukaryotic cells that could serve as potential antimicrobial drug candidates.

Tunicamycin nucleoside antibiotics were the first known to target the formation of peptidoglycan precursor lipid I in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. They have also been used extensively as inhibitors of protein N-glycosylation in eukaryotes, blocking the biogenesis of early intermediate dolichyl-pyrophosphoryl-N-acetylglucosamine. Despite their unusual structures and useful biological properties, little is known about their biosynthesis.

Monocytes/macrophages and related cells are known to generate tissue factor (TF) , a membrane associated lipid-glycoprotein complex, following activation with LPS or other stimuli. Monkey (M. fuscata) mononuclear leukocytes (MNL, 3 × 106/ml) cultured with LPS (lµg/ml) in FCS-free RPMI medium were stimulated to produce the glycoprotein (TF-Apo). After a lag period of 2 h the TF-Apo production was initiated, and its accumulation reached the plateau after 12 h and then declined to approximately half of the maximum level after 24 h. A time course of the TF activity was strictly in accord with that
