A. Isogai et al., STRUCTURAL-ANALYSIS OF NEW SYRINGOPEPTINS BY TANDEM MASS-SPECTROMETRY, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 59(7), 1995, pp. 1374-1376
New syringopeptins SP(SC)-1 and -2 were isolated from culture filtrate
s of phytopathogenic bacterium strain SCI of Pseudomonas syringae pv.
syringae. These syringopeptins were composed of a beta-hydroxy fatty a
cid, a long sequence of aliphatic amino acids, and a lactone moiety of
eight amino acids. The amino acid sequences were deduced from a compa
rison of their tandem mass sepctra with those of known syringopeptins
SP-22a and SP-25a. SP(SC)-1 and SP(SC)-2 resembled SP-22a, but differe
d from the latter by 3 amino acids.
