1. Use of resistant mutants to characterize the target of mycobacillin in Aspergillus niger membranes
Bhabadeb Chowdhury, Sanjoy K Das, Sushil K Bose Microbiology (Reading). 1998 Apr;144 ( Pt 4):1123-1130. doi: 10.1099/00221287-144-4-1123.
The mycobacillin-sensitive Aspergillus niger strain G3Br and resistant mutants of it did not show any differences in their total lipid content, although the amounts of phospholipids and sterols, particularly phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol, were lower in resistant cells. Mycobacillin resistance was accompanied by an increase in the phase-transition temperature of plasma membrane preparations. When exposed to mycobacillin, resistant and sensitive cells did not differ qualitatively with respect to most released materials (lysine, proline, Pi, Na+, K+, Ca2+); however, the release of ATP was completely inhibited in resistant cells unless they were exposed to concentrations of mycobacillin exceeding their respective MIC value. Resistant cells, under steady-state conditions, displayed greater uptake and release of the same specific materials--except ATP--as sensitive cells did under similar conditions. Thus release and uptake of those materials except ATP are not implicated in the mode of action of mycobacillin. The inhibiting action of mycobacillin (at concentrations higher than the MIC) on sensitive or resistant cells was completely antagonized by ATP (which did not form any complex with mycobacillin) but not by any of the releasable components, either alone or in combination. This observation, coupled with the authors' recent findings on ATP release, indicates that the fungistatic action of mycobacillin is due to excessive ATP release, leading to energy starvation. Interestingly, ATP release during the first 2 h of incubation with mycobacillin was minimal, but increased to over 96% during the next 48 h. Release and uptake of ATP via liposomes, prepared with lipid and protein isolated from membranes of the mycobacillin-sensitive parent and resistant mutants, showed that mycobacillin action could be inhibited either by resistant protein or by resistant lipid. The mycobacillin target appears to be a lipid-protein site on the membrane of sensitive A. niger G3Br.
2. Physico-chemical interaction of mycobacillin with Aspergillus niger protoplast membrane, the site of its action
S K Das, S Mukherjee, S Majumdar, S Basu, S K Bose J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1987 Jul;40(7):1036-43. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.40.1036.
Mycobacillin partially quenched the strong fluorescence when 1-anilino naphthalene 8-sulfonate (ANS) was added to protoplast or plasma membrane but is without any effect on weak fluorescence when added to cell-free extract. There are two classes of ANS binding sites on protoplast or plasma membrane of which one class is sensitive to mycobacillin, being competitively abolished by it. Mycobacillin also non-competitively inhibits the binding of pyrene, a lipid specific probe. Thus it follows from the inhibition by mycobacillin of ANS or pyrene binding to protoplast or plasma membrane that the site of action of the antibiotic is located in the plasma membrane. Interaction between mycobacillin and the plasma membrane is physico-chemical in nature.
3. Accumulation of peptides by mycobacillin-negative mutants of Bacillus subtilis B3
S Majumder, S K Ghosh, N K Mukhopadhyay, S K Bose J Gen Microbiol. 1985 Jan;131(1):119-27. doi: 10.1099/00221287-131-1-119.
Thirteen mycobacillin-negative (My-) mutants of Bacillus subtilis B3 were isolated from an auxotrophically tagged mycobacillin producer organism. The wild-type producer, three feeble producers and three strictly My- mutants did not accumulate any ninhydrin-positive peptide in the culture medium while the remaining seven My- mutants did accumulate ten such peptides whose amino acid composition indicated that there might be only three different peptides. The N-terminal and C-terminal amino acid residues implicated one of these peptides as a pentapeptide intermediate in mycobacillin synthesis; this was further confirmed by its molecular weight and sequence. Studies on cell-free synthesis showed that only the enzyme system from the wild-type strain synthesized mycobacillin while the defective ones from all the My- mutants synthesized one and the same pentapeptide as found in the culture broth of some of the mutants. Further studies in which the enzymes responsible for mycobacillin synthesis by cell-free extracts were separated into three fractions, A, B and C, showed that seven of the mutants were defective in fraction B whereas the three other mutants had defects in both fractions B and C. Thus the pentapeptide Pro----Asp----Glu----Tyr----Asp appears to be implicated in mycobacillin biosynthesis.
