Biochem/physiol Actions

3-Hydroxynorvaline (HNV) is a microbial, α amino acid threonine analogue which has antiviral activity (herpes virus) and is toxic to mammalian cells (embryotoxic and teratogenic) presumably via incorporation into proteins. 3-Hydroxynorvaline may be used as an unnatural amino acid to study the fidelity of protein translation at the level of acyl-tRNA editing. 3-Hydroxynorvaline may also be used to study enzymes and molecules involved in threonine metabolism.

In this work, we isolated and characterized mutants that overproduce threonine from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mutants were selected for resistance to the threonine analog alpha-amino-beta-hydroxynorvalerate (hydroxynorvaline), and, of these, the ones able to excrete threonine to the medium were chosen.

3-Hydroxynorvaline (HNV; 2-amino-3-hydroxypentanoic acid), a microbial L-threonine analogue, is toxic to mammalian cells and displays antiviral properties. In view of this, we investigated the toxicity and/or potential teratogenicity of HNV in developing chicken and mouse embryos. HNV was administered to

Treatment of HSV-infected BHK-21 cells with 5-10 mM of beta-hydroxynorvaline (Hnv), an analog of threonine which blocked attachment of oligosaccharides at the Asn-X-Thr sites, markedly inhibited the synthesis of all viral glycoproteins as well as the major capsid protein. However

In all living systems, the fidelity of translation is maintained in part by the editing mechanisms of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs). Some nonproteogenic amino acids, including β-hydroxynorvaline (HNV) are nevertheless efficiently aminoacylated and become incorporated into proteins. To investigate the basis

FEBS letters, 223(1), 122-126 (1987-10-19)
Treatment of HSV-infected cells with 5-10 mM beta-hydroxynorvaline (Hnv), a threonine analog, specifically affects herpesvirus DNA replication: both the rate of and total DNA synthesis are reduced, the former approximately 15-fold by Hnv (6 h post-infection) and the latter by
