Inhibition of chloramphenicol binding to Escherichia coli 70S ribosomes by 2'(3')-O-aminoacyl-dinucleoside phosphates derived from the aminoacyl-tRNA acceptor terminus. 1977

R Goldberg, and D Ringer, and S Chládek

The effect of 2' and 3'-O-aminoacyl-dinucleoside phosphates cytidylyl(3'-5')-2'(3')-O-L-phenyl-alanyladenosine (I), cytidylyl(3'-5')-3'-deoxy-2'-O-L-phenylalanyladenosine (IIa), cytidylyl(3'-5')-2'-deoxy-3'-O-L-phenylalanyladenosine (IIIa), cytidylyl(3'-5')-3'-deoxy-2'-O-glycyladenosine (IIb), cytidylyl(3'-5')-2'-deoxy-3'-O-glycyladenosine (IIIb), cytidylyl(3'-5')-3'-deoxy-2'-O-L-leucyladenosine (IIc), cytidylyl(3'-5')-2'-deoxy-3'-O-L-leucyladenosine (IIIc), cytidylyl(3'-5')-3'-O-L-phenylalanyladenosine (IIId) as analogs of the 2'(3')-aminoacyl-tRNA termini, on chloramphenicol binding to 70S Excherichia coli ribosomes was investigated. The association constants (Kb) of the investigated compounds were determined by the equilibrium dialysis method. Based on the constancy of Kb over the range of inhibitor concentration, it was determined that the binding site of the 2' isomers IIa-IIc overlaps with the chloramphenicol site, whereas the variability of Kb for the 3' isomers IIIb, IIIc and especially IIIa seems to indicate that they do not achieve a complete fit. The consistently higher values of the Kb values for the 3' isomers IIIa-IIIc relative to that of the 2' isomers IIa-IIc also indicate a stabilization of the binding of the former due to a specific interaction between its amino acid portion and a ribosomal site.

D002701 Chloramphenicol An antibiotic first isolated from cultures of Streptomyces venequelae in 1947 but now produced synthetically. It has a relatively simple structure and was the first broad-spectrum antibiotic to be discovered. It acts by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly bacteriostatic.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
