The aggregation chemoattractant (or acrasin) of P. violaceum, a species of cellular slime mold that does not respond chemotactically to cAMP, was identified. It was extracted and purified from aggregating amoebae, then analyzed for amino acid composition and by IR and mass spectrometry. The active molecule is N-propionyl-.gamma.-L-glutamyl-L-ornithine-.delta.-lactam ethyl ester (MW 327), which was named glorin. The compound was synthesized and shows normal chemotactic activity with the amoebae of P. violaceum.
