Trimethionine (Met-met-met) is an orally active tripeptide substrate of peptide transport systems. Trimethionine interacts with the triple-leucine-triple-threonine transport system and the oligopeptide permease (Opp) system in Escherichia coli , competing for uptake and transport processes. Trimethionine antagonizes the toxicity of threonine tripeptide and ornithine tripeptide, and competes with peptide-supported growth and amino acid source utilization processes in Escherichia coli strains. Trimethionine is taken up by Candida albicans via a carrier-mediated, energy-dependent manner, and is subsequently hydrolyzed into free methionine intracellularly. Trimethionine can be used in studies related to Candida albicans infections.
