Biosynthesis of Erythrina alkaloids in Erythrina crista-galli.

A precursor application system was developed to allow the study of Erythrina alkaloid formation in Erythrina crista-galli. Fruit wall tissue of this species was recognized as the major site of alkaloid biosynthesis. The application of radioactively and 13C-labelled potential precursors showed that the hitherto assumed precursor (S)-norprotosinomenine was not incorporated into the Erythrina alkaloids. In contrast, (S)-coclaurine as well as (S)-norreticuline were metabolized to erythraline and erythrinine, respectively, suggesting that a coclaurine-norreticuline pathway is operative in Erythrina alkaloid formation. Feeding of [1-13C]-labelled (S)-norreticuline with subsequent NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that the resulting erythraline was exclusively labelled at position C-10. Therefore, the participation of a symmetrical intermediate of the diphenoquinone type in Erythrina alkaloid biosynthesis can be excluded.     

Cytotoxic isoflavones from Erythrina indica.

Bioassay-directed fractionation of the CH(2)Cl(2)-MeOH (1:1) extract of the stem bark of Erythrina indica, has resulted in the isolation of two new isoflavone derivatives named indicanines D and E together with 11 known compounds including: six isoflavones (genistein, wighteone, alpinumisoflavone, dimethylalpinumisoflavone, 8-prenyl erythrinin C, and erysenegalensein E), one cinnamate (erythrinassinate B), two pentacyclic triterpenes (oleanolic acid and erythrodiol), and two phytosterols (stigmasterol and its 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by means of spectroscopic analysis. The in vitro cytocidal activity against KB cells of some of the isolated compounds is also reported.     

Probing genetic variation and glycoform distribution in lectins of the Erythrina genus by mass spectrometry

Six leguminous lectins from the seeds of plants of the Erythrina genus, namely E. caffra (ECafL), E. cristagalli (ECL), E. flabelliformis (EFL), E. lysistemon (ELysL), E. rubrinerva (ERL), and E. vespertilio (EVL), were examined to establish their sequence homology and to determine the structure and sites of attachment of their glycans. Tryptic digests of these lectins were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis coupled to electrospray mass spectrometry (CE-ESMS). Assignments were made by comparing the molecular masses of the observed tryptic peptides with those of Erythrina corallodendron lectin (ECorL), the sequence of which had been established previously. Glycan structure and genetic variations in the amino acid sequence were probed by tandem mass spectrometry. Small differences were found between the sequences of the various lectins examined and all of them exhibited C-terminal processing resulting in proteins with a C-terminal Asn residue. The major glycan of these glycoproteins was shown to be the heptasaccharide Man(3)XylFucGlcNAc(2), consistent with previous investigations on ECL and ECorL. A minor glycan heterogeneity was observed for most lectins examined except for that of ECafL and ECorL where an extra hexose residue was observed on the reducing GlcNAc residue of the heptasaccharide.     

Isolation of the gene and large-scale expression and purification of recombinant Erythrina cristagalli lectin

Using polymerase chain reaction, the coding sequence for Erythrina cristagalli lectin (ECL) has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The amplified DNA sequence of ECL is highly homologous to that previously reported for Erythrina corallodendron lectin (ECorL), confirming the absence of introns in the ECL gene. The polypeptide sequences of ECL and ECorL have been compared and five amino acids have been identified that differentiate the two proteins. Recombinant E. cristagalli lectin (recECL) was expressed in E. coli from a genomic clone encoding the mature E. cristagalli lectin gene. Constitutive expression localised recombinant protein in inclusion bodies, which were solubilised, and recECL, subsequently refolded and purified by lactose affinity chromatography. Significant advantages were observed for purification from inclusion bodies rather than from a clone optimised to express soluble protein. A large-scale purification scheme has been developed that can prepare functional recECL from inclusion bodies with a yield of 870 mg/l culture. By the range of characterisation methods employed in this study, it has been demonstrated that recECL is functionally equivalent to native ECL obtained from the E. cristagalli plant. In addition, characterisation of the binding of radiolabelled recECL to cultured dorsal root ganglia demonstrated that recECL binds to a single pool of receptors.

Metabolites from endophytes of the medicinal plant Erythrina crista-galli

Erythrina crista-galli (Fabaceae) is used in Argentinean ethnopharmacology as anti-inflammatory medication, narcotic, desinfectant, and for the treatment of wounds. The common name of the tree is "ceibo" or coral tree. The dominating endophytes in E. crista-galli all belong to the genus Phomopsis as identified by microscopic features and the analysis of their ITS sequences. To investigate a possible contribution of Phomopsis spp. to the metabolites found in the plant, twelve different isolates were cultivated in different media. Besides several new metabolites a number of known compounds were detected: mellein, nectriapyrone, 4-hydroxymellein, scytalone, tyrosol, clavatol, mevinic acid, and mevalonolactone.     

Host adaptation of the fruit piercing moth, Eudocima fullonia

Abstract.  The fruit piercing moth, Eudocima fullonia (Clerck) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), whose larval host plants are vines of the family Menispermaceae in Asia, Africa and Australia, is thought to have adapted to Erythrina spp. in the Pacific and Papua New Guinea and has been designated as a separate biotype from the Australasian and African biotype. To test the hypothesis that the Pacific population of E. fullonia is a biotype, feeding trials with the host plants Tinospora homosepala Diels (Menispermaceae) and Erythrina variegata Linn. (Fabaceae) were conducted in Guam. The results indicate that the Guam population of E. fullonia is a biotype that has expanded its host range from its normal Menispermaceae plants to Erythrina species, possibly due to genetic changes and/or the presence of closely related alkaloids in both the species and paucity of menisperms.     

Alkaloids from the flowers of Erythrina americana

Erythrisenegalone,a prenylated-flavanone from Erythrina senegalensis

Purification of human tissue plasminogen activator with Erythrina trypsin inhibitor

Seeds of the legume Erythrina latissima contain a 20,000-dalton, single-chain protein that has been shown to inhibit the amidolytic activity of trypsin and tissue plasminogen activator. It had no comparable effect on urokinase. IC50 values of 1.1 X 10(-7) M for tissue plasminogen activator and 6.9 X 10(-10) M for trypsin were determined by titration. When coupled to agarose, the Erythrina inhibitor provided an effective reagent for affinity purification of tissue plasminogen activator from melanoma cell-conditioned tissue culture medium. Using this as a single-step procedure, 270-fold purified enzyme was reproducibly obtained with yields of 90% or greater. Both one- and two-chain forms of tissue plasminogen activator were purified. The enzyme migrated, in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, as a predominant 72,000-dalton doublet with lesser amounts of immunochemically similar, 115,000- and 68,000-dalton components.
