1
The regulatory mechanism of tubercidin biosynthesis in Streptomyces tubercidicus was studied. In a wild type strain, addition of adenine and histidine into the medium decreased the tubercidin production by 60-65% and 40%, respectively. The effects of adenine and histidine were alleviated by the addition of inosine monophosphate and 5-aminoimidazok-4-carboxamide ribotide. The production of tubercidin in S. tubercidicus K115 strain (ade-) was nearly shut off by histidine. In contrast with KI15 strain, adenine inhibited the tubercidin biosynthesis in S tubercidicus K412 strain (his-). In S. tubercidicus F667 strain (ade , his-), tubercidin production was increased by adenine and histidine.
From the effects of adenine and histidine on tubercidin biosynthesis in S. tubercidicus wild type and mutant strains, it became known that feedback control by adenine and histidine of biosynthetic pathway for purine ribonucleotide and histidine are involved in the regulation of tubercidin biosynthesis.
