Abstract excerpt
The natural product sordarin, a tetracyclic diterpene glycoside, selectively inhibits fungal protein synthesis by impairing the function of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2). Sordarin and its derivatives bind to the eEF2-ribosome-nucleotide complex in sensitive fungi, stabilizing the post-translocational GDP form. We have previously described a class of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants that exhibit resistance...
