Biosynthetic Genes for the Tetrodecamycin Antibiotics.
UNLABELLED We recently described 13-deoxytetrodecamycin, a new member of the tetrodecamycin family of antibiotics. A defining feature of these molecules is the presence of a five-membered lactone called a tetronate ring. By sequencing the genome of a producer strain, Streptomyces sp. strain WAC04657, and searching for a gene previously implicated in tetronate ring formation, we identified the b...
متن کاملAminoglycoside Antibiotics
Aminoglycosides are hydrophilic, polycationic, aminecontaining carbohydrates that are usually composed of three to five rings. Most aminoglycosides are either natural products or derivatives of soil actinomycetes. They are often secreted by these actinomycetes as mixtures of closely related compounds. The polycationic aminoglycoside chemical structure results in a binding both to the anionic ou...
متن کاملChromatographic methods for analysis of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Aminoglycosides are antimicrobial agents used frequently in treatment of human and animal diseases caused by aerobic, gram-negative bacteria. Because of the toxicity of these compounds, considerable effort has been attributed to analysis of aminoglycoside content in drug preparations, in serum and urine specimen in therapeutic drug monitoring, and in edible animal tissues in residue control. Th...
متن کاملAminoglycoside antibiotics inhibit protein biosynthesis
RNA molecules have key roles in many essential biological processes, including protein synthesis, transcriptional regulation, mRNA splicing and retroviral replication. The structural diversity of RNA, together with the lack of known RNA repair mechanisms, make RNA a challenging and important target for therapeutic intervention [1]. Our understanding of the modes by which RNA is recognized by li...
متن کاملDNA-Aptamers Binding Aminoglycoside Antibiotics
Aptamers are short, single stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that are able to bind specifically and with high affinity to their non-nucleic acid target molecules. This binding reaction enables their application as biorecognition elements in biosensors and assays. As antibiotic residues pose a problem contributing to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and thereby reducing the eff...
