Isolation of tremerogens A-9291-I and A-9291-II, novel sex hormones of tremella brasiliensis
Abstract
Two hormones, tremerogens A-9291-I and A-9291-II, that induce conjugation tube formation in a-type cells of Tremella brasiliensis were isolated from the culture filtrate of A-type cells. Both hormones are peptides and they have similar amino acid compositions. The N-terminal amino acids of these peptides are aspartic acid or asparagine.
