Abstract:
Two new N-methylated cyclopeptides, persipeptide A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from Streptomyces sp. UTMC1154. Their structures were established using 1D and 2D NMR experiments. 2D TOCSY experiments were applied to identify the amino acid residues, while HMBC correlations were used to determine their sequence. According to Marfey's method, all amino acids had the l-configuration. The two cyclic peptides had the same ring size and amino acid composition, but differed in their sequence; they did not show activity against the tested bacteria, fungi and algae. Molecular identification experiments placed the strain in the genus Streptomyces closely related to Streptomyces coerulescens DSM40146(T) (99.45%) and Streptomyces varsoviensis DSM40346(T) (99.25%).

Sorting of outer membrane proteins:
Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins are of two types: the transmembrane, beta-barrel porins, and the membrane-anchored, alpha-helical proteins. Beta-barrel porin precursors are translocated by the TOM complex and inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane by the SAM complex. In contrast,...
