physiological function | NpmA confers resistance to aminoglycosides. Structure of the bacterial ribosomal decoding A site with an A1408m1A antibiotic-resistance mutation both in the presence and absence of aminoglycosides shows that G418 and paromomycin both possessing a 6'-OH group specifically bind to the mutant A site and disturb its function as a molecular switch in the decoding process. Binding of gentamicin with a 6'-NH3+ group to the mutant A site cannot be observed. Adenine 1408 may change ist conformation during the N1-methylation reaction by NpmA | Escherichia coli |
