[Metabolites of marine organisms as regulators of O-glycosylhydrolases].
The ability of metabolites contained in culture liquid of 62 strains of marine fungi to affect the activity of two digestive enzymes of marine mollusks--endo-1,3-beta-D-glucanase of Spisula sachalinensis and beta-D-glucosidase of Littorina kurila--was studied. It was found that 66 and 71% of specimens activated, 18 and 7% inhibited, and 16 and 22% did not affect the activity of endo-1,3-beta-D-glucanase and beta-D-glucosidase, respectively. It is demonstrated that the metabolites of brown algae and marine sponges can be used for a targeted regulation of enzyme biosynthesis by marine fungi. The protein inhibitor of endo-1,3-beta-D-glucanases isolated from the brown alga Laminaria cichorioides blocked the biosynthesis of almost all O-glycosylhydrolases in five strains of marine fungi studied. The presence in culture medium of halistanol sulfate from the marine sponge of the family Halichondriidae either did not affect or activated the biosynthesis of enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism by marine fungi.
