AntibioticGE2270A inhibits bacterial protein biosynthesis by acting on EF-Tu1 "4*. The antibiotic has a thiazolyl peptide structure5* which has been recently revised6'7*. Other structurally related antibiotics are normally co-produced with GE2270Aby Planobispora rosea ATCC 53773. We describe the isolation and characterization of GE2270 factors E, Dl, D2, Cl, C2a, C2b, Bl, B2 and T.Crude preparations from fermentations of Planobispora rosea ATCC53773 were obtained (Scheme 1) which were enriched in the factors co-produced with GE2270A.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
