Polyether Ionophore Antibiotics Target Drug-Resistant Clinical Isolates, Persister Cells, and Biofilms [PDF]
Polyether ionophores are complex natural products known to transport various cations across biological membranes. While several members of this family are used in agriculture (e.g., as anti-coccidiostats) and have potent antibacterial activity, they are ...

Calcium ionophore improves embryonic development and pregnancy outcomes in patients with previous developmental problems in ICSI cycles [PDF]
Background Calcium (Ca2+) ionophores are now mainly considered as efficient treatments for fertilization failure. Recently, its application for rescuing poor embryo development was proposed but still non-routine.

Synthesis and crystal structure of the bis-calcimycin anion–Ni2+ complex [PDF]
La structure aux rayons X du complexe [Ni(calcimycine) 2 ] montre deux conformations essentiellement identiques des deux ligands de la calcimycine dans l'association dimérique, dans cette famille d'ionophores. Dans le complexe du titre, le cation nickel (II) a un environnement de coordination octaédrique O 4 N 2 déformé.

Influence of Amino Acid Feeding on Production of Calcimycin and Analogs in Streptomyces chartreusis. [PDF]
Streptomyces chartreusis NRRL 3882 produces the polyether ionophore calcimycin and a variety of analogs, which originate from the same biosynthetic gene cluster. The role of calcimycin and its analogs for the producer is unknown, but calcimycin has strong antibacterial activity.

S100A4-induced cell motility and metastasis is restricted by the Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor calcimycin in colon cancer cells [PDF]
The calcium-binding protein S100A4 is a central mediator of metastasis formation in colon cancer. S100A4 is a target gene of the Wnt/{beta}-catenin pathway, which is constitutively active in the majority of colon cancers.

Recycling of Overactivated Acyls by a Type II Thioesterase during Calcimycin Biosynthesis in Streptomyces chartreusis NRRL 3882 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Type II thioesterases typically function as editing enzymes, removing acyl groups that have been misconjugated to acyl carrier proteins during polyketide secondary metabolite biosynthesis as a consequence of biosynthetic errors.
