albomycin
Albomycin is a naturally occurring antibiotic belonging to the class of sideromycins, which are "compounds composed of iron carriers called siderophores linked to antibiotic moieties", and is particularly effective against gram negative bacteria of the family ''Enterobacteriaceae'' and few gram positive bacteria like ''Streptococcus pneumoniae'', ''Bacillus subtilis'' and ''Staphylococcus aureus''. In 2000 a group of scientists from SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, UK reported that the antibiotic part of albomycin ''in vitro'' can inhibit seryl t-RNA synthetase from both eukaryotic and prokaryotic representatives.
==Structure==
Albomycin is a naturally occurring sideromycin produced by some streptomycetes. The siderophore part of albomycin δ2 is similar to ferrichrome. It contains three molecules of δ-N-hydroxy-δ-N-acetyl ornithine linked to a serine, all by peptide linkage. The C-terminus of the serine is linked to another serine attached to the antibiotically active 4’-thio (N4-carbamoyl-3-methyl) cytidine moiety. The trihydroxamate part serves the siderophore function as it can trap Fe+3 and is essential for active transport of the antibiotic. Iron-free albomycin δ2 has a molecular weight of 992 Da, and when loaded with iron it is 1045 Da.
