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.

The Ribosomal Peptidyl Transferase [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2007
Peptide bond formation on the ribosome takes place in an active site composed of RNA. Recent progress of structural, biochemical, and computational approaches has provided a fairly detailed picture of the catalytic mechanism of the reaction. The ribosome accelerates peptide bond formation by lowering the activation entropy of the reaction due to ...

Structural basis of ABCF-mediated resistance to pleuromutilin, lincosamide, and streptogramin A antibiotics in Gram-positive pathogens

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) are characterized by a distinct architecture and thus biogenesis pathway. Here, cryo-EM structures of mitoribosome large subunit assembly intermediates elucidate final steps of 16 S rRNA folding, methylation and ...

Structural basis for late maturation steps of the human mitoribosomal large subunit

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) are characterized by a distinct architecture and thus biogenesis pathway. Here, cryo-EM structures of mitoribosome large subunit assembly intermediates elucidate final steps of 16 S rRNA folding, methylation and ...

Chloramphenicol Derivatization in Its Primary Hydroxyl Group with Basic Amino Acids Leads to New Pharmacophores with High Antimicrobial Activity

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2023
In a previous study published by our group, successful modification of the antibiotic chloramphenicol (CHL) was reported, which was achieved by replacing the dichloroacetyl tail with alpha and beta amino acids, resulting in promising new antibacterial ...

Structural basis of GTPase-mediated mitochondrial ribosome biogenesis and recycling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Maturation of the ribosomal peptidyl transferase center (PTC) is mediated by universally conserved GTPases. Here, cryo-EM structures of mitochondrial ribosomal large subunit assembly intermediates and of mature ribosomes offer insight into the roles of ...

New Chloramphenicol Derivatives with a Modified Dichloroacetyl Tail as Potential Antimicrobial Agents

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2021
To combat the dangerously increasing pathogenic resistance to antibiotics, we developed new pharmacophores by chemically modifying a known antibiotic, which remains to this day the most familiar and productive way for novel antibiotic development.
