The ketolide antibiotic ABT-773 is a specific inhibitor of translation and 50S ribosomal subunit formation in Streptococcus pneumoniae cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
ABT-773 is a new 3-keto macrolide antibiotic that has been shown to be very effective against infections by Gram-positive
microorganisms. This work examines its inhibitory effects in cells of Streptococcus pneumoniae. ABT-773 caused a proportional decline in cell growth rates and viability with an IC50 of 5 ng/ml. Protein synthesis in these cells was reduced by 50% at an antibiotic concentration of 2.5 ng/ml. This compound
was also found to be a very effective inhibitor of the formation of the 50S ribosomal subunit in growing cells. Pulse and
chase labeling assays revealed a reduced rate of 50S synthesis in antibiotic-treated cells. At 2 ng/ml, the rate was reduced
to 33% of the control synthesis rate. An IC50 of 5 ng/ml was found for the effect on this process, indicating an equal effect of the drug on translation and assembly.
Synthesis of the 30S ribosomal subunit was unaffected by this antibiotic. The effects of ABT-773 in S. pneumoniae are compared with those of the related ketolide antibiotic telithromycin in S. pneumoniae and in Staphylococcus aureus.

Several reports in the literature have described a differential sensitivity to ketolide antibiotics in ermB strains of Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae resistant to erythromycin. Strains of S. pyogenes and S. pneumoniae carrying different erm gene alleles were examined for their susceptibility to the ketolide antibiotics cethromycin (ABT-773) and telithromycin. The effect of the antibiotics on cell growth and viability was assessed as were effects on protein synthesis and 50S ribosomal subunit formation. The susceptibility of wild-type strains of both organisms was compared with effects in strains containing the ermA and ermB methyltransferase genes. A wild-type antibiotic-susceptible strain of S. pyogenes was comparable to an ermA strain of the organism in its ketolide sensitivity, with IC50 values for 50% inhibition of protein synthesis and 50S ribosomal subunit formation of 10 ng/mL for cethromycin and 16 ng/mL for telithromycin. An S. pneumoniae strain with the ermB gene and an S. pyogenes strain with the ermA gene were also similar in their sensitivity to ketolide inhibition. IC50 values for inhibition of translation and subunit formation in S. pneumoniae (ermB) were 30 ng/mL and 55 ng/mL and for the ermA strain of S. pyogenes they were 15 ng/mL and 35 ng/mL respectively. By contrast, an S. pyogenes ermB strain was significantly more resistant to both ketolides, with IC50 values for inhibition of 50S synthesis of 215 and 380 ng/mL for the two ketolides. Experiments were conducted to examine ribosome synthesis and translational activity in the two ermB strains at intervals during growth in the presence of each antibiotic. Cell viability and 50S subunit formation were dramatically reduced in the S. pneumoniae strain during continued growth with either drug. By contrast, the ketolides had little effect on the S. pyogenes strain growing with the antibiotics. The results indicate that ketolides have a reduced inhibitory effect on translation and 50S subunit synthesis in S. pyogenes with the ermB gene compared with the other strains examined. 相似文献

The ketolide antibiotics are semi-synthetic derivatives of erythromycin A with enhanced inhibitory activity in a wide variety
of microorganisms. They have significantly lower MICs than the macrolide antibiotics for many Gram-positive organisms. Two
ketolides, telithromycin and ABT-773, were tested for growth-inhibitory effects in Haemophilus influenzae. Both antibiotics increased the growth rate and reduced the viable cell number with IC50 values of 1.5 μg/ml. Protein synthesis was inhibited in cells with a similar IC50 concentration (1.25 μg/ml). Macrolide and ketolide antibiotics have been shown to have a second equivalent target for inhibition
in cells, which is blocking the assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Pulse and chase labeling assays were conducted to examine
the effect of the ketolides on subunit formation in H. influenzae. Surprisingly, both antibiotics inhibited 50S and 30S subunit assembly to the same extent, with no specific effect of the
compounds on 50S assembly. Over a range of antibiotic concentrations, 30S particle synthesis was diminished to the same extent
as 50S formation. H. influenzae cells seem to have only one significant target for these antibiotics, and this may help to explain why these drugs are not
more effective than the macrolides in preventing the growth of this microorganism.

A number of different antibiotics that prevent translation by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacterial cells have recently been shown to also prevent assembly of this subunit. Antibacterial agents affecting 30S particle activities have not been examined extensively for effects on small subunit formation. The aminoglycoside antibiotics paromomycin and neomycin bind specifically to the 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibit translation. These drugs were examined in Staphylococcus aureus cells to see whether they had a second inhibitory effect on 30S particle assembly. A 3H-uridine pulse and chase assay was used to examine the kinetics of subunit synthesis in the presence and absence of each antibiotic. 30S subunit formation was inhibited by both compounds. At 3 µg/mL each antibiotic reduced the rate of 30S formation by 80% compared with control cells. Both antibiotics showed a concentration-dependent inhibition of particle formation, with a lesser effect on 50S particle formation. For neomycin, the IC50 for 30S particle formation was equal to the IC50 for inhibition of translation. Both antibiotics reduced the viable cell number with an IC50 of 2 µg/mL. They also inhibited protein synthesis in the cells with different IC50 values (2.5 and 1.25 µg/mL). This is the second demonstration of 30S ribosomal subunit-specific antibiotics that prevent assembly of the small subunit.Received: 13 August 2002 / Accepted: 4 November 2002 相似文献

The inhibitory activities of a novel antibiotic compound have been investigated. A synthetic version of the natural product
TAN-1057A was examined for its effects on translation and ribosomal subunit formation. The antibiotic at 6 μg/ml reduced the
growth rate of wild-type Staphylococcus aureus cells by 50%. The IC50 for inhibition of protein synthesis in these cells was 4.5 μg/ml. Pulse and chase labeling kinetics showed a strong inhibitory
effect on 50S ribosomal subunit formation as well. The IC50 for this process was 9 μg/ml, indicating an equivalent inhibitory effect of the antibiotic on translation and 50S synthesis.
The post-antibiotic effect of the drug was investigated. Protein synthesis resumed rapidly after removal of the drug from
cells, but full recovery of the normal 50S subunit complement in treated cells required 1.5 h. The dual inhibitory effects
of this compound are compared with other antimicrobial agents having similar effects on cell growth.

Inhibition of 50S Ribosomal Subunit Assembly in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Haemophilus influenzae</Emphasis> Cells by Azithromycin and Erythromycin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Azithromycin is an important antibiotic for the treatment of several different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial
infections. Erythromycin and clarithromycin are less useful antibiotics against Gram-negative infections. This difference
in inhibitory activity was explored by comparing the effects of azithromycin and erythromycin on cellular functions in Haemophilus influenzae cells. Effects of both antibiotics on translation, cell viability, and growth rates have been measured. An IC50 of 0.4 μg/ml was found for the effects of azithromycin on each of these processes. For erythromycin, an IC50 of 1.5 μg/ml was observed, indicating a fourfold lower sensitivity of the organisms to this compound. The features of a second
target for macrolide antibiotic inhibition in H. influenzae cells have also been examined. Inhibition of the synthesis of the large 50S ribosomal subunit was measured. Subunit formation
was prevented in a concentration dependent fashion, with azithromycin showing a ninefold greater effect on this process compared
with erythromycin. Synthesis of the 30S ribosomal subunit was not effected. Pulse and chase labeling kinetics confirmed the
slower synthesis rate of the 50S particle in the presence of each antibiotic. The results are discussed in terms of the stronger
effect of azithromycin on ribosome biosynthesis in this organism.

Linezolid is an oxazolidinone compound that has been shown to have impressive antimicrobial activity against a number of Gram-positive
bacteria. It inhibits an initiation step of protein synthesis, and its binding site has been shown to be on the 50S ribosomal
subunit. Linezolid was tested to see whether would interfere with the formation of the 50S subunit in Staphylococcus aureus cells, since a number of other 50S-specific antibiotics have this second inhibitory function. Linezolid inhibited protein
synthesis in S. aureus cells with an IC50 of 0.3 μg/ml. A concentration-dependent decline in cell number with an increase in generation time was found. Pulse-chase
labeling studies revealed a specific inhibitory effect on 50S particle formation, with no effect on 30S subunit assembly.
The compound inhibited 50S synthesis with an IC50 of 0.6 μg/ ml, indicating an equivalent effect on translation and particle assembly. A postantibiotic effect of 1 h was found
when cells were initially treated with the drug at 2 μg/ ml. 50S particle numbers recovered more rapidly than translational
capacity, consistent with the increase in viable cell numbers. The inhibitory activities of this novel antimicrobial agent
in cells are discussed.

A prior study examining differences in the activities of erythromycin and azithromycin on cellular functions in the Gram-negative pathogen, Haemophilus influenzae, revealed a marked difference in their inhibitory activities. The study revealed that protein synthesis and 50S ribosomal subunit assembly were equal targets for inhibition by azithromycin while erythromycin was a preferential inhibitor of translation. This contrast in inhibitory activities stimulated a comparative analysis of three additional antibiotics: clarithromycin, flurithromycin and roxithromycin. Each compound was tested over a concentration range for inhibitory effects on cellular processes. Clarithromycin was the most effective inhibitor of protein synthesis with an IC50 of 5.6 g/mL, followed by flurithromycin at 6 g/mL, and roxithromycin at 9 g/mL. IC50 values for antibiotic effects on viable cell counts and growth rates were similar to those obtained for protein synthesis. Flurithromycin had the strongest effect on 50S ribosomal subunit formation with an IC50 of 8 g/mL, followed by clarithromycin and roxithromycin, at 9.0 g/mL and 12.5 g/mL respectively. 30S ribosomal subunit formation in cells treated with flurithromycin and roxithromycin was also reduced to some extent. Pulse-and-chase labeling kinetics examining subunit assembly rates verified the slower synthesis rate of the subunits in the presence of each macrolide. The results are discussed in terms of structural differences of these macrolides and their differential inhibitory effects on both cellular targets. 相似文献

Preferential inhibition of protein synthesis by ketolide antibiotics in Haemophilus influenzae cells
The ketolide antibiotics are semi-synthetic derivatives of erythromycin A with enhanced inhibitory activity in a wide variety of microorganisms. They have significantly lower MICs than the macrolide antibiotics for many Gram-positive organisms. Two ketolides, telithromycin and ABT-773, were tested for growth-inhibitory effects in Haemophilus influenzae. Both antibiotics increased the growth rate and reduced the viable cell number with IC(50) values of 1.5 microgram/ml. Protein synthesis was inhibited in cells with a similar IC(50) concentration (1.25 microgram/ml). Macrolide and ketolide antibiotics have been shown to have a second equivalent target for inhibition in cells, which is blocking the assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Pulse and chase labeling assays were conducted to examine the effect of the ketolides on subunit formation in H. influenzae. Surprisingly, both antibiotics inhibited 50S and 30S subunit assembly to the same extent, with no specific effect of the compounds on 50S assembly. Over a range of antibiotic concentrations, 30S particle synthesis was diminished to the same extent as 50S formation. H. influenzae cells seem to have only one significant target for these antibiotics, and this may help to explain why these drugs are not more effective than the macrolides in preventing the growth of this microorganism. 相似文献

Macrolide antibiotics like erythromycin can induce the synthesis of a specific 23S rRNA methyltransferase which confers resistance
to cells containing the erm gene. Erythromycin inhibits both protein synthesis and the formation of 50S subunits in bacterial cells. We have tested the
idea that the 50S precursor particle that accumulates in antibiotic-treated Staphylococcus aureus cells is a substrate for the methyltransferase enzyme. Pulse-chase labeling studies were conducted to examine the rates of
ribosomal subunit formation in control and erythromycin-induced cells. Erythromycin binding to 50S subunits was examined under
the same conditions. The rate of 50S subunit formation was reduced for up to 30 min after antibiotic addition, and erythromycin
binding was substantial at this time. A nuclease protection assay was used to examine the methylation of adenine 2085 in 23S
rRNA after induction. A methyl-labeled protected RNA sequence was found to appear in cells 30 min after induction. This protected
sequence was found in both 50S subunits and in a subunit precursor particle sedimenting at about 30S in sucrose gradients.
23S rRNA isolated from 50S subunits of cells could be labeled by a ribosome-associated methlytransferase activity, with 3H-S-adenosylmethionine as a substrate. 50S subunits were not a substrate for the enzyme, but the 30S gradient region from
erythromycin-treated cells contained a substrate for this activity. These findings are consistent with a model that suggests
that antibiotic inhibition of 50S formation leads to the accumulation of a precursor whose 23S rRNA becomes methylated by
the induced enzyme. The methylated rRNA will preclude erythromycin binding; thus, assembly of the particle and translation
become insensitive to the inhibitory effects of the drug.

A new streptogramin antibiotic XRP 2868 was compared with quinupristin-dalfopristin for inhibitory activities against antibiotic-resistant
Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. In each organism examined, XRP 2868 had an IC50 that was twofold to fivefold lower than quinupristin-dalfopristin, for inhibition of cell viability, protein synthesis, and
ribosomal subunit formation. 相似文献

Nine structurally similar macrolide antibiotics were tested at a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml for their relative inhibitory
effects on ribosome functions in Staphylococcus aureus cells. Eight of the compounds examined inhibited protein synthesis at this concentration. Seven of the nine compounds were
also effective in blocking formation of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Roxithromycin and 14-hydroxy clarithromycin inhibited protein
synthesis to a greater extent than they affected 50S subunit formation. Conversely, the compound 11,12-carbonate-3 deoxy-clarithromycin
affected 50S assembly more than translation. Only clarithromycin had any effect on 30S ribosomal subunit assembly. The decline
in growth rate and cell number was proportional to the effect on ribosome formation or function by each compound. These inhibitory
activities can be related to structural differences between these macrolide antibiotics.

Eleven structurally similar ketolide antibiotics were tested at a concentration of 1 μg/ml for their relative inhibitory
effects on growth and ribosome activities in Staphylococcus aureus cells. Ten of the compounds examined had an inhibitory effect on protein synthesis at this concentration and eight of the
11 compounds were also effective inhibitors of the formation of the 50S ribosomal subunit. All of the drugs tested inhibited
protein synthesis to a greater extent than they affected 50S subunit formation. The decline in growth rate and cell number
was proportional to the effect on ribosome formation and function. The growth of an ermC erythromycin-resistant strain of S. aureus was also significantly inhibited by nine ketolide compounds, suggesting that they were not inducers of methylase gene expression.
These inhibitory activities can be related to structural differences between these ketolide antibiotics.

The ID50 values for azithromycin and clarithromycin inhibition of translation and of 50S assembly in Staphylococcus aureus cells have been measured. For clarithromycin, 50% inhibition of growth occurred at 0.075 μg/ml, and the effects on translation
and 50S formation were equivalent at 0.15 μg/ml. The inhibition of these processes by azithromycin was less effective, with
an ID50 of 2.5 μg/ml for growth and 5 μg/ml for inhibition of translation and 50S formation. The additive effects of each of these
drugs on translation and 50S formation account quantitatively for their observed influence on cellular growth rates. In macrolide-treated
cells, there was also a direct relationship between the loss of ribosomal RNA from the 50S subunit and its accumulation as
oligoribonucleotides. These results are compared with the previously described effects of erythromycin on these same processes.

Three pairs of related macrolide antibiotics, differing at the 11,12 position of the macrolactone ring, were compared for
effects on growth rate, cell viability, protein synthesis, and 50S ribosomal subunit formation in Staphylococcus aureus cells. For each parameter measured, the 11,12 carbonate–derivatized compound was more inhibitory compared with the corresponding
11,12-hydroxy antibiotic. Substitution at the 3-position of the ring was also important in the relative inhibition observed.
The degree of inhibition found in two different growth media was proportional to the generation time of the cells. Inhibition
of both protein synthesis and 50S subunit formation by each drug correlated well with the inhibition of cell viability. The
results indicate that closure of the 11,12-hydroxyl groups in macrolide antibiotics with a carbonate substitution generates
a more effective antimicrobial agent.

Six structurally related 3-keto-substituted macrolide antibiotics (ketolides) were compared for concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on growth rate, viable cell number, and protein synthesis rates in Staphylococcus aureus cells. Inhibitory effects on 50S ribosomal subunit formation were also examined, as this is a second target for these antibiotics. A concentration range of 0.01 to 0.1 microg/ml was tested. An IC50 for inhibition of translation and 50S synthesis was measured for each compound, to relate structural features to inhibitory activity. ABT-773 was the most effective of the six compounds tested with an IC50 = 0.035 microg/ml. HMR 3004 was almost as effective with an IC50 = 0.05 microg/ml. Two 2-fluoroketolides (HMR 3562 and HMR 3787) were equivalent in their inhibitory activity with an IC50 = 0.06 microg/ml. Telithromycin (HMR 3647) had an IC50 = 0.08 microg/ml, and HMR 3832 was least effective with an IC50 = 0.11 microg/ml. Each antibiotic had an equivalent inhibitory effect on translation and 50S subunit formation. These results indicate specific structural features of these antimicrobial agents, which contribute to defined inhibitory activities against susceptible organisms. 相似文献

Ribosomal RNA is normally a stable molecule in bacterial cells with negligible turnover. Antibiotics which impair ribosomal
subunit assembly promote the accumulation of subunit intermediates in cells which are then degraded by ribonucleases. It is
predicted that cells expressing one or more mutated ribonucleases will degrade the antibiotic-bound particle less efficiently,
resulting in increased sensitivity to the antibiotic. To test this, eight ribonuclease-deficient strains of Escherichia coli were grown in the presence or absence of azithromycin. Cell viability and protein synthesis rates were decreased in these
strains compared with wild type cells. Degradation of 23S rRNA and recovery from azithromycin inhibition were examined by
3H-uridine labeling and by hybridization with a 23S rRNA specific probe. Mutants defective in ribonuclease II and polynucleotide
phosphorylase demonstrated hypersensitivity to the antibiotic and showed a greater extent of 23S rRNA accumulation and a slower
recovery rate. The results suggest that these two ribonucleases are important in 23S rRNA turnover in antibiotic-inhibited
E. coli cells. 相似文献

Erythromycin inhibition of 50S ribosomal subunit formation in Escherichia coli cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effects of erythromycin on the formation of ribosomal subunits were examined in wild-type Escherichia coli cells and in an RNase E mutant strain. Pulse-chase labelling kinetics revealed a reduced rate of 50S subunit formation in both strains compared with 30S synthesis, which was unaffected by the antibiotic. Growth of cells in the presence of [14C]-erythromycin showed drug binding to 50S particles and to a 50S subunit precursor sedimenting at about 30S in sucrose gradients. Antibiotic binding to the precursor correlated with the decline in 50S formation in both strains. Erythromycin binding to the precursor showed the same 1:1 stoichiometry as binding to the 50S particle. Gel electrophoresis of rRNA from antibiotic-treated organisms revealed the presence of both 23S and 5S rRNAs in the 30S region of sucrose gradients. Hybridization with a 23S rRNA-specific probe confirmed the presence of this species of rRNA in the precursor. Eighteen 50S ribosomal proteins were associated with the precursor particle. A model is presented to account for erythromycin inhibition of 50S formation. 相似文献
