✦ Synopsis

The e †ect of phenylpyrroles on glycerol synthesis in Neurospora crassa has been investigated and compared with the mode of action of vinclozolin (a dicarboximide). The results indicated that fenpiclonil, Ñudioxonil and vinclozolin at concentrations which inhibit growth by 50% induce accumulation of glycerol in the mycelium of N. crassa. Furthermore a protein kinase (PK-III) possibly involved in the regulation of the glycerol synthesis is inhibited by phenylpyrroles, whereas vinclozolin is without e †ect. This implies that the target sites of phenylpyrroles and dicarboximides in the osmosensing signal transmission pathway are di †erent. Comparative experiments with enzymes from human and animal sources revealed that PK-III could be a protein kinase Cd. It is suggested that inhibition of PK-III activity may result in an increased concentration of a non-phosphorylated regulatory protein which may activate a MAP-kinase cascade of reactions resulting in increased glycerol synthesis.

Ornithine decarboxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, has been shown to be regulated in thyroid by thyrotropin both in vivo and in vitro. Little, however, is known of the role of polyamines in thyroid cell function. Since studies in other tissues suggest that polyamines may in
