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

We have investigated the ability of amino acid analogues of serine and threonine to inhibit the increase in steroidogenesis elicited by addition of ACTH or cAMP in cells isolated from the rat adrenal cortex. We have found that the serine

The peptidyl-prolyl isomerase FKBP12 was originally identified as the intracellular receptor for the immunosuppressive drugs FK506 (tacrolimus) and rapamycin (sirolimus). Although peptidyl-prolyl isomerases have been implicated in catalyzing protein folding, the cellular functions of FKBP12 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other

The threonine analog beta-hydroxynorvaline (Hnv) is an inhibitor of asparagine-linked glycosylation. In the presence of the analog hepatocytes synthesized immunoreactive alpha 1-acid glycoprotein with 0-6 oligosaccharide chains. Pulse-chase experiments were conducted to compare the rates of secretion of alpha 1-acid
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
