Acetylation of puromycin by Streptomyces alboniger the producing organism. 1983

J A Pérez-González, and J Vara, and A Jiménez

Streptomyces alboniger produces the antibiotic puromycin and expresses an enzymic activity which acetylates the drug using acetyl CoA. The N-acetyl-puromycin formed is biologically inactive against protein synthesis in Bacillus subtilis (as assayed in vivo).

D011691 Puromycin A cinnamamido ADENOSINE found in STREPTOMYCES alboniger. It inhibits protein synthesis by binding to RNA. It is an antineoplastic and antitrypanosomal agent and is used in research as an inhibitor of protein synthesis.
