  • Studies on isoprenoid biosynthesis in Euglena gracilis

    Creator:
    Kim, Dojung
    Abstract:
    This dissertation describes studies of isoprenoid biosynthesis in the phytoflagellate Euglena gracilis. Elucidation of a novel isoprerioid pathway, the 2-Cmethyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, in addition to the generally known mevalonate (MVA) pathway, led to extensive exploration of the distribution of both pathways in a variety of organisms. To date, photosynthetic eukaryotes...

    Abstract:
    The loss of all deuterium labels from previous feedings of [2-²H]-, [3,3-²H₂]-, and [2,3,3-²H₃]arginines had indicated the possible intermediacy of β-hydroxy- and β-ketoarginine (30 and 31, respectively) in the biosynthesis of the streptolidine portion of streptothricin F (la). In order to confirm or refute this evidence, D,L-[2,3,3,5,5-²H₅]- arginine (32) was...
