Source: Streptomyces kasugaensis Melting Point: 203 °C Storage Conditions: 2­8 °C Description: Kasugamycin hydrochloride is a salt form a Kasugamycin, is a broad- spectrum antibacterial and antifungal aminoglycoside originally isolated in 1965 from Streptomyces kasugaensis found near the Kasuga shrine in Japan. This natural product used against yeast and pathogenic fungi such as M. grisea. Kasugamycin is freely soluble in aqueous solution. Mechanism of Action: Like many of the known natural antibiotics, kasugamycin inhibits proliferation of bacteria by tampering with their ability to make new proteins, the ribosome being the major target. Kasugamycin inhibits protein synthesis at the step of translation initiation by direct competition with initiator transfer RNA. Plant Biology In rice models, kasugamycin is used to prevent and cure M. grisea mycelia Applications formation with <20 µg/mL. In addition, kasugamycin has shown to suppress a number of plant parasitic infections such as leaf spot and apple scab. Kasugamycin is preferentially used over other antifungals due to its lower phytoxicity and toxicity to animals. References: Masukawa H, Tanaka N, Umezawa H.

Carpousis1,2† 1LMGM, Université de Toulouse, CNRS, UPS, CBI, Toulouse, France 2TBI, Université de Toulouse, CNRS, INRAE, INSA, Toulouse, France Running title: Rifampicin-induced rRNA degradation †Corresponding author: [email protected] 1 Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on October 6, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Abstract Rifampicin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase. Here we show that rifampicin treatment of Escherichia coli results in a 50% decrease in cell size due to a terminal cell division. This decrease is a consequence of inhibition of transcription as evidenced by an isogenic rifampicin-resistant strain. There is also a 50% decrease in total RNA due mostly to a 90% decrease in 23S and 16S rRNA levels. Control experiments showed this decrease is not an artifact of our RNA purification protocol and therefore due to degradation in vivo. Since chromosome replication continues after rifampicin treatment, ribonucleotides from rRNA degradation could be recycled for DNA synthesis. Rifampicin- induced rRNA degradation occurs under different growth conditions and in different strain backgrounds. However, rRNA degradation is never complete thus permitting the re-initiation of growth after removal of rifampicin. The orderly shutdown of growth under conditions where the induction of stress genes is blocked by rifampicin is noteworthy. Inhibition of protein synthesis by chloramphenicol resulted in a partial decrease in 23S and 16S rRNA levels whereas kasugamycin treatment had no effect.

As an extension of that study, a 10-kb Sacl-Kpnl DNAfragment, located 5~ 15-kb upstream of kac?3%, was cloned and a 4.2-kb Sacl- EcoRl fragment there from was sequenced, revealing one incomplete (designated ORFJ) and three complete open reading frames (designated kasK, kasL and kasM). The coding frames of kasK, L and Moverlap one another with terminator/initiator ATGAsequence. RT-PCRanalysis of a DNAregion including kasKLMindicated the presence of one transcript that is long enough to span the three genes. The kasK gene potentially encodes an ATP-binding protein of the ATP- binding cassette (ABC) transporter super family. Homology search for the deduced KasK protein shows similarity to other ABCtransporters involved in self-resistance of a mithramycin and possibly doxorubicin producer strain. The kasL and kasMgenes encode different integral membraneproteins, both having six putative transmembrane helices. Anexpression plasmid for kasKLM(pTV^KLM)was constructed and these genes were expressed in E.

Unit for Ribosomal Structure, Notkestr. 85, 22603 Hamburg, Germany and 4Max-Planck- Institut for Moleculare Genetics, Ihnestr. 73, 14195 Berlin, Germany Abstract: Resistance to antibiotics is a major problem in modern therapeutics. Ribosomes, the cellular organelle catalyzing the translation of the genetic code into proteins, are targets for several clinically relevant antibiotics. The ribosomes from eubac- teria are excellent pathogen models. High resolution structures of the large and small ribosomal subunits were used as references that allowed unambiguous localization of almost a dozen antibiotic drugs, most of which are clinically relevant. Analyses of these structures showed a great diversity in the antibiotics’ modes of action, such as interference with substrate binding, hindrance of the mobility required for the biosynthetic process and the blockage of tunnel which provides the path of exit for nascent proteins. All antibiotics studied by us were found to bind primarily to ribosomal RNA and, except for one allosteric effect, their binding did not cause major conformational changes. Antibiotics of the small ribosomal subunit may hinder tRNA binding, decoding, translocation, and the initiation of the entire biosynthetic process. The large subunit agents may target the GTPase center, interfere with peptide bond formation, or block the entrance of the nascent protein exit tunnel.

Gualerzi Received: 1 April 2016; Accepted: 23 May 2016; Published: 1 June 2016 Abstract: The bacteriostatic aminoglycoside antibiotic kasugamycin inhibits protein synthesis at an initial step without affecting translation elongation. It binds to the mRNA track of the ribosome and prevents formation of the translation initiation complex on canonical mRNAs. In contrast, translation of leaderless mRNAs continues in the presence of the drug in vivo. Previously, we have shown that kasugamycin treatment in E. coli stimulates the formation of protein-depleted ribosomes that are selective for leaderless mRNAs. Here, we provide evidence that prolonged kasugamycin treatment leads to selective synthesis of specific proteins. Our studies indicate that leaderless and short-leadered mRNAs are generated by different molecular mechanisms including alternative transcription and RNA processing. Moreover, we provide evidence for ribosome heterogeneity in response to kasugamycin treatment by alteration of the modification status of the stalk proteins bL7/L12. Keywords: kasugamycin; translation initiation; leaderless mRNA; Escherichia coli 1.
