Disease relevance of Mucidin

 

High impact information on Mucidin

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Mucidin

  • A new method of determination of nitrate was developed, utilizing the nitrate reductase activity of Paracoccus denitrificans in which a further reduction of nitrate is blocked either by a mutation affecting formation of cytochromes c or by inhibition of the electron flow to nitrite reductase by mucidin [4].
 

Biological context of Mucidin

  • Mucidin and strobilurin A, antifungal antibiotics isolated from the basidiomycetes Oudemansiella mucida and Strobiluris tenacellus, respectively, inhibit electron-transfer reactions in the cytochrome bc1 complex of the mitochondrial respiratory chain [5].
  • Resistance to mucidin in class 1 mutants was due to a single-gene nuclear recessive mutation (mucPR) whereas that in class 2 mutants was caused by mutations of mitochondrial genes [6].
  • Allelism tests indicated that the mucidin resistance mutations fell into two genetic loci (MUC1 and MUC2) which were apparently not closely linked in the mitochondrial genome [6].
  • It is concluded that the extra reduction of cytochrome b-565 and the red shift of cytochrome b-561 elicited by mucidin can be largely dissociated from the overall inhibition of the electron flow by distinct mucidin-resistant mutations in different exons of the split mitochondrial gene of cytochrome b [7].
  • Genetic mapping of nuclear mucidin resistance mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A new pdr locus on chromosome II [8].

Gene context of Mucidin

  • These effects of mucidin and strobilurin A are, however, qualitatively identical with those of myxothiazol, an antibiotic that inhibits respiration by binding to cytochrome b [Von Jagow, G., Ljungdahl, P. O., Graf, P., Ohnishi, T., & Trumpower, B. L. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 6319-6326] [5].
  • Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae resistant to the antibiotic mucidin, a specific inhibitor of electron transport between cytochrome b and c, were isolated and divided into three phenotypic groups, as follows [6].
  • Recombination studies showed that the two mitochondrial mucidin loci were not allelic with other mitochondrial loci RIB1, RIB2 and OLI1 [6].
