Abstract
The prokaryotic ribosome is an important target of antibiotic action. We determined the X-ray structure of the aminoglycoside kasugamycin (Ksg) in complex with the Escherichia coli 70S ribosome at 3.5-A resolution. The structure reveals that the drug binds within the messenger RNA channel of the 30S subunit between the universally conserved G926 and A794 nucleotides in 16S ribosomal RNA, which are sites of Ksg resistance. To our surprise, Ksg resistance mutations do not inhibit binding of the drug to the ribosome. The present structural and biochemical results indicate that inhibition by Ksg and Ksg resistance are closely linked to the structure of the mRNA at the junction of the peptidyl-tRNA and exit-tRNA sites (P and E sites).

Figure 2. Determinants of resistance to Ksg in the DASL. (a) Location of the DASL relative to Ksg. DASL residues A1518 and A1519 are shown (gold). Also shown are A792 and G1497 (gray), Ksg (cyan) and distances from the DASL to these residues (in Angstroms). (b) Post-transcriptional modification of the DASL. Plasmid-encoded 16S rRNAs carrying mutations in the DASL (or wild-type (WT) rRNAs) were isolated from ksgA^+ (lanes 3, 7, 11, 15, 19 and 23) or ksgA^- strains (lanes 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24). The presence of the methyl groups at A1518 and/or A1519 in 16S rRNA is detected as a strong reverse-transcriptase stop in primer extension^19. Sequencing lanes, containing rRNA isolated from the ksgA^- strain, are included for every mutant.

(a) Ksg footprint in the 794 region of the 16S rRNA upon chemical modification with DMS. (b) Ksg footprint in the 926 region of the 16S rRNA upon chemical modification with kethoxal. The A794G mutation renders the DMS reactivity of this base undetectable, and the G926A mutation makes this residue unreactive to chemical attack by kethoxal; thus, Ksg binding to ribosomes carrying a mutation at one residue was detected as protection of the other residue. Ksg was used at 0, 64 and 320 g ml^-1 (triangles denote increasing concentration). WT, wild-type rRNA.
