General description

Chemical structure: tetracycline

Application

Duramycin is used to study chloride secretion by cardial, pancreatic and airway epithelial voltage-gated ion channels. It is used to study cystic fibrosis and as a novel phosphatidylethanolamine-binding molecular probe[1]. It is used to stimulate sodium transport in cultured human colonic epithelia[2].

Biochem/physiol Actions

Duramycin is the smallest known polypeptide since it has only 19 amino acids. It has a defined 3-dimensional binding structure. Duramycin binds phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdE) at a 1:1 ratio with high affinity and exclusive specificity[1]. It enhances chloride secretion in airway epithelium.

Other Notes

We visualized nanometer-scale phospholipid particle fusion by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) on an alkanethiol-modified gold substrate, induced by duramycin, a tetracyclic antibiotic peptide with 19 amino residues. Ultrasonic homogenization generated a suspension mainly consisting of minimal lipid particles (MLP) from

Duramycin is a 19-amino-acid tetracyclic lantibiotic closely related to cinnamycin (Ro09-0198), which is known to bind phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). The lipid specificity of duramycin was not established. The present study indicates that both duramycin and cinnamycin exclusively bind to ethanolamine phospholipids

Duramycin is a small tetracyclic peptide which binds specifically to ethanolamine phospholipids (PE). In this study, we used lipid monolayers consisting of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (POPE) and various phosphatidylcholines (PC) to investigate the effect of duramycin on the organization of lipids

Proton transport in microsomal vesicles derived from medullary bone of laying hens was observed to be inhibited in a dose-dependent manner with fusidic acid, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diatzole (NBD-Cl), duramycin and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). The IC50 values were 570 microM, 4.5 microM, 10 micrograms/ml
