Two antimycobacterial agents, lariatins A and B, were isolated from the culture broth of Rhodococcus sp. K01-B0171. Their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis and advanced protein chemical methods to be unique cyclic peptides, which consist of 18 and 20 L-amino acid residues with an internal linkage between the gamma-carboxyl group of Glu8 and the alpha-amino group of Gly1. The three-dimensional structure of lariatin A deduced from NMR data by dynamical simulated annealing method indicates that the tail segment (Trp9-Pro18) passes through the ring segment (Gly1-Glu8) to form a 'lasso' structure.
从红球菌属菌株K01-B0171的培养液中分离出两种抗分枝杆菌剂,即套索菌素A和B。通过光谱分析和先进的蛋白质化学方法阐明了它们的结构,发现它们是独特的环肽,由18个和20个L-氨基酸残基组成,在Glu8的γ-羧基和Gly1的α-氨基之间存在内部连接。通过动态模拟退火方法从核磁共振数据推导出的套索菌素A的三维结构表明,尾部片段(Trp9-Pro18)穿过环部片段(Gly1-Glu8)形成“套索”结构。
