Abstract excerpt
Sordarin derivatives are remarkably selective inhibitors of fungal protein synthesis. Available evidence points to a binding site for these inhibitors on elongation factor 2, but high affinity binding requires the presence of ribosomes. The gene mutated in one of the two isolated complementation groups of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants resistant to the sordarin derivative GM193663 has now been identified. It is...
