Structural insights into context-specific inhibition of bacterial translation by macrolides [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
The ribosome’s peptidyl transferase center (PTC) catalyzes peptide bond formation during protein synthesis and is targeted by many antibiotic classes. Remarkably, macrolides that bind in the peptide exit tunnel some ~10 Å away from the PTC also remotely ...

The Peptidyl Transferase Center: a Window to the Past. [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiol Mol Biol Rev, 2021
In his 2001 article, “Translation: in retrospect and prospect,” the late Carl Woese made a prescient observation that there was a need for the then-current view of translation to be “reformulated to become an all-embracing perspective about which 21st century Biology can develop” (RNA 7:1055–1067, 2001, https://doi.org/10.1017 ...

The Photochemical Inactivation of Peptidyl Transferase Activity [PDF]

open access: bronzeEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1975
The photochemical oxidation of the 50‐S ribosomal subunit results in a rapid irreversible loss of peptidyl transferase activity. The first‐order rate of inactivation occurring during the first forty minutes suggests that a single reactive group is being inactivated.

Insights into substrate stabilization from snapshots of the peptidyl transferase center of the intact 70S ribosome. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Struct Mol Biol, 2009
Protein synthesis is catalyzed in the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), located in the large (50S) subunit of the ribosome. No high-resolution structure of the intact ribosome has contained a complete active site including both A- and P-site tRNAs.

Identification of the Target for a Transition Metal-α-Amino Acid Complex Antibiotic Against Mycobacterium smegmatis

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Spontaneous mutants of Mycobacterium smegmatis strain mc2155 resistant to 1-PG (iridium-L-phenylglycine complex), an antimycobacterial antibiotic, were isolated.
