The Effects of Streptomycin or Dihydrostreptomycin Binding to 16S RNA or to 30S Ribosomal Subunits

Abstract: Evidence is presented suggesting that streptomycin binds to 16S RNA or to 30S ribosomal subunits at the same topographical site located on the RNA chain. The equally bactericidal dihydrostreptomycin binds to the same site as streptomycin but with lower affinity. The effect of drug binding to 16S RNA (measured by reconstitution inhibition) is readily reversible, while that of drug binding to 30S subunits (measured by misreading) persists after removal of the drug. Binding of the drug is not a necessary and suff… Show more

“…However, although they are virtually equipotent as regards killing and inhibition of cell-free protein synthesis, streptomycin has a much higher affinity for the bacterial ribosome than dihydrostreptomycin. This result confirms the observation of Garvin et al [5].…”

“…It is still a matter of controversy whether protein S12, responsible for ribosome sensitivity to these antibiotics, is an integral part of the binding site. Moreover, labelled streptomycin and, to a very much less extent, labelled dihydrostreptomycin, bind to 16-S RNA from 30-S ribosomal subunits [5].…”

“…12 A resistência à SM em M. tuberculosis ocorre por mutações no alvo do fármaco, mais especificamente nos ribossomos. O principal sítio de mutação é o gene rpsL, que codifica a proteína ribossomal S12, 5,11,15,33 em que ocorrem mutações resultando na substituição de um único aminoácido.…”

“…LELONG et al 19) have investigated the binding site of streptomycin, using specific antibody fragments (Fab) for 30S ribosomal proteins, and observed that antibodies for S1, S10, S11, S18, S19, S20 and S21 interfere with the binding of dihydrostreptomycin to 30S or 70S ribosomes. BISWAS and GORINI20) , and GARVIN et al 21) have presented evidence that 16S RNA is the binding site of streptomycin and that it binds 2 molecules per RNA molecule. As described above, the diverse results obtained by a number of investigators using different methods make it impossible to specify any ribosomal component(s) for the attachment site of streptomycin.…”
