The antibiotic albomycin is transported into cells of E. coli K-12 by the same uptake system as the Fe-supplying ferrichrome complex. The Fe-complexing hydroxamate moieties of albomycin and ferrichrome are structurally similar. During the phase of rapid Fe uptake the chelators were not found in the cells. To understand the antibiotic activity of albomycin, it was labeled in the hydroxamate with tritium and in the presumed antibiotically active area with radioactive S. While the tritium label was not retained by the cells, part of the S label was taken up and concentrated 500-fold within the cell. The S was not incorporated into proteins or nucleic acids since it was recovered as a low MW component. Gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-2 revealed 1 tritium-labeled and 2 S-labeled cleavage products in the incubation medium. Albomycin is apparently actively transported via its ferrichrome-like portion into the cells and the growth-inhibitory moiety may be released by hydrolysis intracellularly and remain there.
