Abstract
The oxazolidinones represent the first new class of antibiotics to enter into clinical usage within the past 30 years, but their binding site and mechanism of action has not been fully characterized. We have determined the crystal structure of the oxazolidinone linezolid bound to the Deinococcus radiodurans 50S ribosomal subunit. Linezolid binds in the A site pocket at the peptidyltransferase center of the ribosome overlapping the aminoacyl moiety of an A-site bound tRNA as well as many clinically important antibiotics. Binding of linezolid stabilizes a distinct conformation of the universally conserved 23S rRNA nucleotide U2585 that would be nonproductive for peptide bond formation. In conjunction with available biochemical data, we present a model whereby oxazolidinones impart their inhibitory effect by perturbing the correct positioning of tRNAs on the ribosome.
Figure 1.
The binding site of oxazolidinones. (A) Secondary structure of the peptidyltransferase ring of the 23S rRNA from D. radiodurans with the mutation sites in bacteria (blue) and archaea (purple) that confer resistance to oxazolidinones indicated with E. coli numbering. Nucleotides that directly interact with linezolid are shaded light blue, and the mutations sites associated with resistance for chloramphenicol (cam) (45, 46), anisomycin (aniso) (47, 48), and pleuromutilins (pleuro) (49) are shown. (B) Interface view of the D. radiodurans 50S subunit with the binding position of linezolid (red) and landmark proteins L1 and L11 as indicated. (C) Chemical structure of linezolid, highlighting the three aromatic rings (A–C) and the acetamidomethyl tail. (D) View of linezolid (pink) within the binding pocket formed by eight universally conserved nucleotides (blue) of the 23S rRNA. The arrow indicates tunnel direction.

Linezolid overlaps A-site ligands at the peptidyltransferase center. (A–F) Comparison of the binding site of linezolid (pink) on D50S (A) with chloramphenicol (PDB ID code 1K01; green) (6) (B), anisomycin (PDB ID code 1K73; olive) (3) (C), tiamulin (PDB ID code 1XBP; teal) (7) (D), clindamycin (PDB ID code 1JZX; magenta) (6) (E), and A- (yellow) and P-site (orange) phenylalanyl-tRNA CCA-end mimics (PDB ID code 1VQN) (27) (F). In all cases, U2585 (blue) from the D50S-linezolid structure is shown for reference.
