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.

The present study examined the anti-herpetic effect of the glycoprotein inhibitors, hydroxynorvaline and 2-deoxyglucose, alone and in combination with trifluridine on murine ocular herpes. Following ocular inoculation with a large dose of HSV-1 RE strain (10(6) pfu), ICR mice were

Amino acid substitutions in collagen that impair folding of the triple helix result in significant increases in intracellular degradation of newly synthesized collagen. We have studied the effects of agents that cause other kinds of defects in collagen: hydroxynorvaline, a

The proteolytic processing of rat pre-prolactin (Pre-Prl) to prolactin in isolated hemipituitaries was inhibited by the threonine analog, beta-hydroxynorvaline (Hnv). Pre-Prl accumulated as a major labeled intracellular product, even during pulse labeling longer than 2 h, but it was not

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
