项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): All organisms produce a host of compounds that are generally not required in primary metabolic processes, but play important regulatory functions. These secondary metabolites have been exploited by every civilization to enhance life and cure human diseases. We know these as hormones, antibiotics, antitumor agents, and antivirals. Since these metabolites can harm cells if produced in excess, or if present when a need for them does not exist, their production is often strictly regulated. An understanding of how cells synthesize and regulate the production of secondary metabolites is essential if one is to be able to exploit them as human therapeutic agents. Deazapurines are secondary metabolites that are derived from purines. This proposal outlines studies on the biosynthesis of deazapurine-containing secondary metabolites by bacteria. Our goal is to bring to fore the tools of genomics, molecular biology and enzymology to form the framework of how these metabolites are synthesized and to exploring the chemical transformations that underlies the biosynthesis of these molecules. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Deazapurine-containing compounds are widely distributed in nature and have been shown to have clinically useful activities. Our goal is to understand the chemical transformations that underlie biosynthesis of these compounds in an effort to synthesize additional molecules with improved properties.

描述（由申请人提供）：所有生物都会产生许多化合物，这些化合物通常在主要的代谢过程中不需要，而是发挥重要的调节功能。每个文明都利用了这些次要代谢产物，以改善生活并治愈人类疾病。我们知道这些是激素，抗生素，抗肿瘤剂和抗病毒药。由于这些代谢产物如果过量产生，或者在不存在需要时可能会损害细胞，则通常严格调节它们的产生。如果要能够将其作为人类治疗剂剥削，那么了解细胞如何合成和调节次级代谢产物的产生至关重要。地扎嘌呤是源自嘌呤的次生代谢产物。该提议概述了细菌含脱氮嗪的继发代谢产物的生物合成研究。我们的目标是提出基因组学，分子生物学和酶学的工具，以形成这些代谢产物如何合成的框架，并探索这些分子生物合成的化学转化。公共卫生相关性：含Deazapurine的化合物在性质上广泛分布，已被证明具有临床上有用的活动。我们的目标是了解这些化合物的生物合成构成的化学转化，以合成具有改善性能的其他分子。
