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.

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

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

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

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
