Abstract excerpt
Sparsomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, acts at the peptidyl transferase centre of the ribosome, stabilizing peptidyl-tRNA binding at the P-site and weakening ternary complex binding. A sparsomycin-resistant mutant was isolated for the archaeon Halobacterium salinarium and shown to lack a post-transcriptional modification of U2603 (Escherichia coli numbering U2584), which is a universally conserved uridine base...
