The molecular basis for A-site mutations conferring aminoglycoside resistance: relationship between ribosomal susceptibility and X-ray crystal structures.
Aminoglycoside antibiotics target the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) bacterial A site and induce misreading of the genetic code. Point mutations of the ribosomal A site may confer resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics. The influence of bacterial mutations (introduced by site-directed mutagenesis) on ribosomal drug susceptibility was investigated in vivo by determination of minimal inhibitory conce...
متن کاملMutations conferring aminoglycoside and spectinomycin resistance in Borrelia burgdorferi.
We have isolated and characterized in vitro mutants of the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi that are resistant to spectinomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, or streptomycin, antibiotics that target the small subunit of the ribosome. 16S rRNA mutations A1185G and C1186U, homologous to Escherichia coli nucleotides A1191 and C1192, conferred >2,200-fold and 1,300-fold resistance to spectinomycin...
متن کاملStereospecificity of aminoglycoside-ribosomal interactions.
Aminoglycoside antibiotics bind to the A-site decoding region of bacterial rRNA causing mistranslation and/or premature message termination. Aminoglycoside binding to A-site RNA decoding region constructs is established here to be only weakly stereospecific. Mirror-image prokaryotic A-site decoding region constructs were prepared in the natural D-series and the enantiomeric L-series and tested ...
متن کاملAssociation between mutations in gyrA and parC genes of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates and ciprofloxacin resistance
Objective(s): We investigated the contribution of gyrA and parC mutational mechanism in decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from burn wound infections. Materials and Methods: Ciprofloxacin susceptibility of 50 A. baumannii isolates was evaluated by disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. PCR and sequencing were performed for detection of mutation in gyr...
متن کاملEukaryotic ribosomal RNA determinants of aminoglycoside resistance and their role in translational fidelity.
Recent studies of prokaryotic ribosomes have dramatically increased our knowledge of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) structure, functional centers, and their interactions with antibiotics. However, much less is known about how rRNA function differs between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes. The core decoding sites are identical in yeast and human 18S rRNAs, suggesting that insights obtained in studies ...
