Abstract
Eleven mutations that make Haloarcula marismortui resistant to anisomycin, an antibiotic that competes with the amino acid side chains of aminoacyl tRNAs for binding to the A-site cleft of the large ribosomal unit, have been identified in 23S rRNA. The correlation observed between the sensitivity of H. marismortui to anisomycin and the affinity of its large ribosomal subunits for the drug indicates that its response to anisomycin is determined primarily by the binding of the drug to its large ribosomal subunit. The structures of large ribosomal subunits containing resistance mutations show that these mutations can be divided into two classes: (1) those that interfere with specific drug-ribosome interactions and (2) those that stabilize the apo conformation of the A-site cleft of the ribosome relative to its drug-bound conformation. The conformational effects of some mutations of the second kind propagate through the ribosome for considerable distances and are reversed when A-site substrates bind to the ribosome.

Fig. 2. A global view of the positions of the bases, the mutation of which cause anisomycin resistance in H. marismortui. The drug (gold with spherical atoms) is shown surrounded by the bases, the mutation of which leads to drug resistance (red). The backbone connecting the bases is indicated in gray. The positions occupied by the CCA end of P-site-bound tRNA (orange) and A-site-bound tRNA (green) are shown for orientation. E. coli numbering is used for all bases.

Fig. 5. The effect of A-site substrate binding on the conformation of large ribosomal subunits containing the mutation G2581A. (a) Comparison of the conformation of the 2581 region of wild-type ribosomes (gray) with that of the G2581A mutant (green). Also included in the figure is CC-puromycin (blue green) as reference for the binding site of amino acylated tRNA to the A-site. (b) Comparison of the structure of G2581A mutant (green) and CC-puromycin bound to a large ribosomal subunit of wild type (gold). (c) Comparison of the structures of G2581A mutant (green) and of CC-puromycin bound to G2581A (khaki) with overlaid (F[G2581A]−F[G2581A CC-puromycin]) difference electron density, which was computed by using as amplitudes the differences observed between the data obtained from G2581A crystals that include the analog and the data obtained from G2581A crystals that lack the analog. Positive features were contoured at + 4σ (blue), and negative features were contoured at − 4σ (red).

Full text Abstract
Figure 3.
Figure 3. Electron density maps. Unbiased F[o] -F[c] difference Fourier maps (gray netting) contoured at 3.0s reveal the location, orientation, and conformation of these antibiotics. (a), (b) Nucleotides of ribosomal RNA (gray sticks) that are either protected or deprotected by the anisomycin (a) or chloramphenicol (b) from chemical modification (green) or that upon mutation confer resistance to the given antibiotic (orange) are provided for context. (c) The placement and conformation of virginiamycin M (blue) in the corresponding doughnut shaped electron density is unambiguous. (d) Blasticidin S (purple) binds at two sites, but density for the second site is weaker and incomplete. (e) Sparsomycin (green) binds only in the presence of a P-site bound substrate (orange). A2637 (2602) (gray stick) is apparent in the difference map because it changes conformation upon substrate binding.

Figure 7. Sparsomycin binding site. Sparsomycin (green) is sandwiched between the CCA end of P-site bound substrate analogue, CCA-phe-cap-biotin (large spheres) and the base of A2637 (2602) (gray sticks). Hydrogen bonds and ionic interactions are shown as dotted lines. A magnesium ion is purple and water molecules are small red spheres. The sulfur (yellow) containing tail of sparsomycin enters the active-site hydrophobic crevice between A2486 (2451) (gray sticks) and C2487 (2452) (orange sticks, resistance mutation).
