Abstract
Siderophores are metal-binding secondary metabolites that assist in iron homeostasis and have been of interest to the scientific community for the last half century. Foundational siderophore research has enabled several translational applications including siderophore-antibiotic and siderophore-peptide conjugates, identification of new antimicrobial targets, advances in disease imaging, and novel therapeutics. This review aims to connect the basic science research (biosynthesis, cellular uptake, gene regulation, and effects on homeostasis) of well-known siderophores with the successive translational application that results. Intertwined throughout are connections to the career of Christopher T. Walsh, his impact on the field of chemical biology, and the legacy of his trainees who continue to innovate.
嗜苷酸盐是有助于铁平衡的金属结合次生代谢物,在过去的半个世纪里一直受到科学界的关注。嗜苷酸盐的基础研究促成了多项转化应用,包括嗜苷酸盐-抗生素和嗜苷酸盐-肽共轭物、新抗菌靶点的鉴定、疾病成像的进展以及新型疗法。本综述旨在将众所周知的嗜苷酸的基础科学研究(生物合成、细胞吸收、基因调控和对体内平衡的影响)与由此产生的后续转化应用联系起来。本综述与克里斯托弗-沃尔什(Christopher T. Walsh)的职业生涯、他对化学生物学领域的影响以及他的受训者们不断创新的遗产紧密相连。
期刊介绍:
Biochemistry provides an international forum for publishing exceptional, rigorous, high-impact research across all of biological chemistry. This broad scope includes studies on the chemical, physical, mechanistic, and/or structural basis of biological or cell function, and encompasses the fields of chemical biology, synthetic biology, disease biology, cell biology, nucleic acid biology, neuroscience, structural biology, and biophysics. In addition to traditional Research Articles, Biochemistry also publishes Communications, Viewpoints, and Perspectives, as well as From the Bench articles that report new methods of particular interest to the biological chemistry community.
