Binding of thiostrepton to ribosomes from thiostrepton-sensitive and -resistant Bacillus subtilis strains.

چکیده
Binding of [(35)S]thiostrepton to ribosomes from thiostrepton-sensitive and -resistant strains of Bacillus subtilis was studied. Ribosomes from thiostrepton-resistant strains bound relatively little thiostrepton compared with ribosomes from thiostrepton-sensitive B. subtilis. In addition, ribosomes from revertant strains that were obtained as thiostrepton-sensitive revertants from thiostrepton-resistant strains bound [(35)S]thiostrepton similarly to ribosomes from the sensitive parental strain.

Properties of the ribosomes of antibiotic producers: effects thiostrepton and micrococcin on the organisms which produce them.
Ribosomes of Streptomyces azureus, which produces thiostrepton, are resistant to thiostrepton by virtue of being unable to bind the antibiotic. These ribosomes are also resistant to a number of other antibiotics (the thiostrepton group) which may share a common ribosomal binding site and a common mode of action with thiostrepton. Conversely, Bacillus pumilis and a strain of micrococcus, which p...
متن کاملLoss of ribosomal protein L11 blocks stress activation of the Bacillus subtilis transcription factor sigma(B).
sigma(B), the general stress response sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis, is activated when the cell's energy levels decline or the bacterium is exposed to environmental stress (e.g., heat shock, ethanol). Physical stress activates sigma(B) through a collection of regulatory kinases and phosphatases (the Rsb proteins) which catalyze the release of sigma(B) from an anti-sigma(B) factor inhibitor....
متن کاملElongation factor T-dependent hydrolysis of guanosine triphosphate resistant to thiostrepton.
Methanol stimulates the hydrolysis of GTP catalyzed by bacterial ribosomes in the presence of the chain elongation factor T (EF-T). The methanol-stimulated activity is uncoupled from aminoacyl-tRNA binding to the ribosomes and does not require the presence of either synthetic polynucleotide messenger or aminoacyl-tRNA. When these reactants are present, along with EF-T, GTP, and methanol, the ri...
متن کاملThiostrepton-resistant mutants of Thermus thermophilus.
Ribosomal protein L11 and its associated binding site on 23S rRNA together comprise one of the principle components that mediate interactions of translation factors with the ribosome. This site is also the target of the antibiotic thiostrepton, which has been proposed to act by preventing important structural transitions that occur in this region of the ribosome during protein synthesis. Here, ...
متن کاملThe antibiotics micrococcin and thiostrepton interact directly with 23S rRNA nucleotides 1067A and 1095A.
The antibiotics thiostrepton and micrococcin bind to the GTPase region in domain II of 23S rRNA, and inhibit ribosomal A-site associated reactions. When bound to the ribosome, these antibiotics alter the accessibility of nucleotides 1067A and 1095A towards chemical reagents. Plasmid-coded Escherichia coli 23S rRNAs with single mutations at positions 1067 or 1095 were expressed in vivo. Mutant r...
