Structure of Erm-modified 70S ribosome reveals the mechanism of macrolide resistance. Nat Chem Biol 2021; 17:412-420.

Abstract
Many antibiotics inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the ribosome and interfering with protein biosynthesis. Macrolides represent one of the most successful classes of ribosome-targeting antibiotics. The main clinically relevant mechanism of resistance to macrolides is dimethylation of the 23S rRNA nucleotide A2058, located in the drug-binding site, a reaction catalyzed by Erm-type rRNA methyltransferases. Here, we present the crystal structure of the Erm-dimethylated 70S ribosome at 2.4 Å resolution, together with the structures of unmethylated 70S ribosome functional complexes alone or in combination with macrolides. Altogether, our structural data do not support previous models and, instead, suggest a principally new explanation of how A2058 dimethylation confers resistance to macrolides. Moreover, high-resolution structures of two macrolide antibiotics bound to the unmodified ribosome reveal a previously unknown role of the desosamine moiety in drug binding, laying a foundation for the rational knowledge-based design of macrolides that can overcome Erm-mediated resistance.

Abstract
Macrolide antibiotics bind to the exit tunnel of the ribosome and inhibit protein synthesis blocking its translocation. Thus, antibiotics including the known macrolide Erythromycin (ERY) are active against bacteria. However, at present, some bacteria show resistance to drugs, which requires the development of new powerful antibacterial agents. One possible way is to use the ERY structure, but change its side chains, while the size of the lactone ring can remain unchanged or change. In this work we consider Cethromycin (CET) and Solithromycin (SOL), which are ketolides with quinolylallyl group at C6 and aminophenyl at C11, respectively (both of them have the same lactone ring as ERY). Experiments have shown that these ketolides have improved efficacy against pathogens, but their binding affinity to the E. coli's ribosome is almost identical. To clarify this issue, we have studied in detail the binding mechanisms of ERY, CET and SOL using the docking and molecular dynamic simulations. In agreement with the experiments, we showed that these compounds have similar binding affinities. Desosamine and lactone ring groups play a critical role in the binding of ERY to the ribosome. In CET and SOL, the contribution of keto and alkylaryl groups is balanced by cyclic carbamate. We have demonstrated that increased fluctuations in the ribosomal residues at the binding site led to an increase in the entropic term in the free binding energy of ERY compared to SOL and CET. The alkyl-aryl arm of both ketolides strongly interacts with A752 and U2609. In addition, the presence of macrolides in the exit tunnel can alter the conformation of U2585, which is located in the peptidyl transferase center, through non-bonded interaction. Therefore, the side chain of ketolides affects not only the binding site but also other residues possibly leading to a strong effect on the protein synthesis process. We predict that to combat bacterial mutations, it is necessary either to design a bulk and charged group as a cladinose, or to use several groups with different signs of charges. This prediction can be used for the development of new efficient antibiotics.

Kinetics of drug-ribosome interactions defines the cidality of macrolide antibiotics. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2017; 114:13673-13678.

Abstract
Antibiotics can cause dormancy (bacteriostasis) or induce death (cidality) of the targeted bacteria. The bactericidal capacity is one of the most important properties of antibacterial agents. However, the understanding of the fundamental differences in the mode of action of bacteriostatic or bactericidal antibiotics, especially those belonging to the same chemical class, is very rudimentary. Here, by examining the activity and binding properties of chemically distinct macrolide inhibitors of translation, we have identified a key difference in their interaction with the ribosome, which correlates with their ability to cause cell death. While bacteriostatic and bactericidal macrolides bind in the nascent peptide exit tunnel of the large ribosomal subunit with comparable affinities, the bactericidal antibiotics dissociate from the ribosome with significantly slower rates. The sluggish dissociation of bactericidal macrolides correlates with the presence in their structure of an extended alkyl-aryl side chain, which establishes idiosyncratic interactions with the ribosomal RNA. Mutations or chemical alterations of the rRNA nucleotides in the drug binding site can protect cells from macrolide-induced killing, even with inhibitor concentrations that significantly exceed those required for cell growth arrest. We propose that the increased translation downtime due to slow dissociation of the antibiotic may damage cells beyond the point where growth can be reinitiated upon the removal of the drug due to depletion of critical components of the gene-expression pathway.

Abstract
Novel fluorescent derivatives of macrolide antibiotics related to tylosin bearing rhodamine, fluorescein, Alexa Fluor 488, BODIPY FL, and nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) residues were synthesized. The formation of complexes of these compounds with 70S E. coli ribosomes was studied by measuring the fluorescence polarization depending on the ribosome amount at constant concentration of the fluorescent substance. With the synthesized fluorescent tylosin derivatives, the dissociation constants for ribosome complexes with several known antibiotics and macrolide analogs previously obtained were determined. It was found that the fluorescent tylosin derivatives containing BODIPY FL and NBD groups could be used to screen the binding of novel antibiotics to bacterial ribosomes in the macrolide-binding site.

Abstract
Bacteria growing under different conditions experience a broad range of demand on the rate of protein synthesis, which profoundly affects cellular resource allocation. During fast growth, protein synthesis has long been known to be modulated by adjusting the ribosome content, with the vast majority of ribosomes engaged at a near-maximal rate of elongation. Here, we systematically characterize protein synthesis by Escherichia coli, focusing on slow-growth conditions. We establish that the translational elongation rate decreases as growth slows, exhibiting a Michaelis-Menten dependence on the abundance of the cellular translational apparatus. However, an appreciable elongation rate is maintained even towards zero growth, including the stationary phase. This maintenance, critical for timely protein synthesis in harsh environments, is accompanied by a drastic reduction in the fraction of active ribosomes. Interestingly, well-known antibiotics such as chloramphenicol also cause a substantial reduction in the pool of active ribosomes, instead of slowing down translational elongation as commonly thought.

Abstract
The ribosomal exit tunnel had recently become the centre of many functional and structural studies. Accumulated evidence indicates that the tunnel is not simply a passive conduit for the nascent chain, but a rather functionally important compartment where nascent peptide sequences can interact with the ribosome to signal translation to slow down or even stop. To explore further this interaction, we have synthesized short peptides attached to the amino group of a chloramphenicol (CAM) base, such that when bound to the ribosome these compounds mimic a nascent peptidyl-tRNA chain bound to the A-site of the peptidyltransferase center (PTC). Here we show that these CAM-peptides interact with the PTC of the ribosome while their effectiveness can be modulated by the sequence of the peptide, suggesting a direct interaction of the peptide with the ribosomal tunnel. Indeed, chemical footprinting in the presence of CAM-P2, one of the tested CAM-peptides, reveals protection of 23S rRNA nucleotides located deep within the tunnel, indicating a potential interaction with specific components of the ribosomal tunnel. Collectively, our findings suggest that the CAM-based peptide derivatives will be useful tools for targeting polypeptide chain mimics to the ribosomal tunnel, allowing their conformation and interaction with the ribosomal tunnel to be explored using further biochemical and structural methods.

Abstract
Applying kinetics and footprinting analysis, we show that telithromycin, a ketolide antibiotic, binds to Escherichia coli ribosomes in a two-step process. During the first, rapidly equilibrated step, telithromycin binds to a low-affinity site (KT = 500 nM), in which the lactone ring is positioned at the upper portion of the peptide exit tunnel, while the alkyl–aryl side chain of the drug inserts a groove formed by nucleotides A789 and U790 of 23S rRNA. During the second step, telithromycin shifts slowly to a high-affinity site (KT* = 8.33 nM), in which the lactone ring remains essentially at the same position, while the side chain interacts with the base pair U2609:A752 and the extended loop of protein L22. Consistently, mutations perturbing either the base pair U2609:A752 or the L22-loop hinder shifting of telithromycin to the final position, without affecting the initial step of binding. In contrast, mutation Lys63Glu in protein L4 placed on the opposite side of the tunnel, exerts only a minor effect on telithromycin binding. Polyamines disfavor both sequential steps of binding. Our data correlate well with recent crystallographic data and rationalize the changes in the accessibility of ribosomes to telithromycin in response to ribosomal mutations and ionic changes.

Abstract
Mutations in ribosomal proteins L4 and L22 confer resistance to erythromycin and other macrolide antibiotics in a variety of bacteria. L4 and L22 have elongated loops whose tips converge in the peptide exit tunnel near the macrolide-binding site, and resistance mutations typically affect residues within these loops. Here, we used bacteriophage lambda Red-mediated recombination, or "recombineering," to uncover new L4 and L22 alleles that confer macrolide resistance in Escherichia coli. We randomized residues at the tips of the L4 and L22 loops using recombineered oligonucleotide libraries and selected the mutagenized cells for erythromycin-resistant mutants. These experiments led to the identification of 341 resistance mutations encoding 278 unique L4 and L22 proteins-the overwhelming majority of which are novel. Many resistance mutations were complex, involving multiple missense mutations, in-frame deletions, and insertions. Transfer of L4 and L22 mutations into wild-type cells by phage P1-mediated transduction demonstrated that each allele was sufficient to confer macrolide resistance. Although L4 and L22 mutants are typically resistant to most macrolides, selections carried out on different antibiotics revealed macrolide-specific resistance mutations. L22 Lys90Trp is one such allele that confers resistance to erythromycin but not to tylosin and spiramycin. Purified L22 Lys90Trp ribosomes show reduced erythromycin binding but have the same affinity for tylosin as wild-type ribosomes. Moreover, dimethyl sulfate methylation protection assays demonstrated that L22 Lys90Trp ribosomes bind tylosin more readily than erythromycin in vivo. This work underscores the exceptional functional plasticity of the L4 and L22 proteins and highlights the utility of Red-mediated recombination in targeted genetic selections.

Abstract
Bacterial antibiotic resistance can occur by many mechanisms. An intriguing class of mutants is resistant to macrolide antibiotics even though these drugs still bind to their targets. For example, a 3-residue deletion (DeltaMKR) in ribosomal protein L22 distorts a loop that forms a constriction in the ribosome exit tunnel, apparently allowing nascent-chain egress and translation in the presence of bound macrolides. Here, however, we demonstrate that DeltaMKR and wild-type ribosomes show comparable macrolide sensitivity in vitro. In Escherichia coli, we find that this mutation reduces antibiotic occupancy of the target site on ribosomes in a manner largely dependent on the AcrAB-TolC efflux system. We propose a model for antibiotic resistance in which DeltaMKR ribosomes alter the translation of specific proteins, possibly via changes in programmed stalling, and modify the cell envelope in a manner that lowers steady-state macrolide levels.

Abstract
L4 and L22, proteins of the large ribosomal subunit, contain globular surface domains and elongated ‘tentacles’ that reach into the core of the large subunit to form part of the lining of the peptide exit tunnel. Mutations in the tentacles of L4 and L22 confer macrolide resistance in a variety of pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. In Escherichia coli, a Lys-to-Glu mutation in L4 and a three-amino-acid deletion in the L22 had been reported. To learn more about the roles of the tentacles in ribosome assembly and function, we isolated additional erythromycin-resistant E. coli mutants. Eight new mutations mapped in L4, all within the tentacle. Two new mutations were identified in L22; one mapped outside the tentacle. Insertion mutations were found in both genes. All of the mutants grew slower than the parent, and they all showed reduced in vivo rates of peptide-chain elongation and increased levels of precursor 23S rRNA. Large insertions in L4 and L22 resulted in very slow growth and accumulation of abnormal ribosomal subunits. Our results highlight the important role of L4 and L22 in ribosome function and assembly, and indicate that a variety of changes in these proteins can mediate macrolide resistance.

Abstract
BAL19403 is a macrolide antibiotic from a novel structural class with potent activity against propionibacteria in vitro. The antibacterial spectrum of BAL19403 covers clinical isolates with mutations in the 2057 to 2059 region of 23S rRNA that confer resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin. The basis of this improved activity was investigated by ribosome binding assays and by a coupled transcription and translation assay. The latter was specifically developed for the use of ribosomes from Propionibacterium acnes. BAL19403 inhibited protein expression by ribosomes from erythromycin-sensitive and erythromycin-resistant P. acnes with similar potencies if the resistance was due to G2057A or A2058G mutations. BAL19403 showed a >10-fold higher activity than erythromycin against ribosomes from a strain with the erm(X) gene. Erm(X) confers high levels of macrolide and lincosamide resistance by dimethylation of A2058. Assays with such ribosomes showed that BAL19403 was potent enough to inhibit half of the total activity with a 50% inhibitory concentration very close to the value measured with erythromycin-sensitive ribosomes. We concluded from our data that the P. acnes strain with the erm(X) gene had a mixed population of ribosomes, with macrolide-sensitive and macrolide-resistant species.

Abstract
A fluorescence polarization assay is described that measures the binding of fluorescently labeled erythromycin to 70S ribosomes from Escherichia coli and the displacement of the erythromycin from these ribosomes. The assay has been validated with several macrolide derivatives and other known antibiotics. We demonstrate that this assay is suitable for determining the dissociation constants of novel compounds that have binding sites overlapping those of macrolides. This homogeneous binding assay provides a valuable tool for defining structure-activity relationships among compounds during the discovery and development of new ribosome-targeting drugs.

Abstract
Crystal structures of H. marismortui large ribosomal subunits containing the mutation G2099A (A2058 in E. coli) with erythromycin, azithromycin, clindamycin, virginiamycin S, and telithromycin bound explain why eubacterial ribosomes containing the mutation A2058G are resistant to them. Azithromycin binds almost identically to both G2099A and wild-type subunits, but the erythromycin affinity increases by more than 10(4)-fold, implying that desolvation of the N2 of G2099 accounts for the low wild-type affinity for macrolides. All macrolides bind similarly to the H. marismortui subunit, but their binding differs significantly from what has been reported in the D. radioidurans subunit. The synergy in the binding of streptogramins A and B appears to result from a reorientation of the base of A2103 (A2062, E. coli) that stacks between them. The structure of large subunit containing a three residue deletion mutant of L22 shows a change in the L22 structure and exit tunnel shape that illuminates its macrolide resistance phenotype.

Abstract
In a cell-free system derived from Escherichia coli, it is shown that clarithromycin and roxithromycin, like their parent compound erythromycin, do not inhibit the puromycin reaction (i.e., the peptide bond formation between puromycin and AcPhe-tRNA bound at the P-site of 70S ribosomes programmed with heteropolymeric mRNA). Nevertheless, all three antibiotics compete for binding on the ribosome with tylosin, a 16-membered ring macrolide that behaves as a slow-binding, slowly reversible inhibitor of peptidyltransferase. The mutually exclusive binding of these macrolides to ribosomes is also corroborated by the fact that they protect overlapping sites in domain V of 23S rRNA from chemical modification by dimethyl sulfate. From this competition effect, detailed kinetic analysis revealed that roxithromycin or clarithromycin (A), like erythromycin, reacts rapidly with AcPhe-tRNA.MF-mRNA x 70S ribosomal complex (C) to form the encounter complex CA which is then slowly isomerized to a more tight complex, termed C*A. The value of the overall dissociation constant, K, encompassing both steps of macrolide interaction with complex C, is 36 nM for erythromycin, 20 nM for roxithromycin, and 8 nM for clarithromycin. Because the off-rate constant of C*A complex does not significantly differ among the three macrolides, the superiority of clarithromycin as an inhibitor of translation in E. coli cells and many Gram-positive bacteria may be correlated with its greater rate of association with ribosomes.

Abstract
A number of antibiotics have been reported to disturb the decoding process in prokaryotic translation and to inhibit the function of various natural ribozymes. We investigated the effect of several antibiotics on in vitro splicing of a eukaryotic nuclear pre-mRNA (beta-globin). Of the eight antibiotics studied, erythromycin, Cl-tetracycline and streptomycin were identified as splicing inhibitors in nuclear HeLa cell extract. The K(i) values were 160, 180 and 230 microm, respectively. Cl-tetracycline-mediated and streptomycin-mediated splicing inhibition were in the molar inhibition range for hammerhead and human hepatitis delta virus ribozyme self-cleavage (tetracycline), of group-I intron self-splicing (streptomycin) and inhibition of RNase P cleavage by some aminoglycosides. Cl-tetracycline and the aminocyclitol glycoside streptomycin were found to have an indirect effect on splicing by unspecific binding to the pre-mRNA, suggesting that the inhibition is the result of disturbance of the correct folding of the pre-mRNA into the splicing-compatible tertiary structure by the charged groups of these antibiotics. The macrolide, erythromycin, the strongest inhibitor, had only a slight effect on formation of the presplicing complexes A and B, but almost completely inhibited formation of the splicing-active C complex by binding to nuclear extract component(s). This results in direct inhibition of the second step of pre-mRNA splicing. To our knowledge, this is the first report on specific inhibition of nuclear splicing by an antibiotic. The functional groups involved in the interaction of erythromycin with snRNAs and/or splicing factors require further investigation.

Abstract
Azithromycin, a derivative of erythromycin with improved activity against Gram-negative bacteria, exhibits a marginal inhibition effect in a model system derived from Escherichia coli, in which a peptide bond is formed between puromycin and AcPhe-tRNA bound at the P-site of poly(U)-programmed ribosomes. This renders the study of azithromycin interaction with Ac[(3)H]Phe-tRNA. poly(U). 70S ribosome complex (complex C) impossible, if we analyze its effect on peptide bond formation. To overcome this problem, we have used an alternative approach to investigate kinetically the azithromycin interaction with complex C and to compare the azithromycin binding properties with those of erythromycin. This approach was based on the ability of azithromycin to compete with tylosin, a macrolide antibiotic strongly inhibiting the puromycin reaction. Detailed kinetic analysis revealed that the encounter complex CA between complex C and azithromycin (A) undergoes a slow isomerization to a tighter complex C*A, which remains active toward puromycin. The determination of inhibition and isomerization rate constants enabled us to classify azithromycin as a slow-binding ligand of ribosomes. Compared with erythromycin, azithromycin is a better inducer and stabilizer of the C*A complex. This finding may explain the superiority of azithromycin as inhibitor of translation in E. coli cells and many other Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
The effects of erythromycin on the formation of ribosomal subunits were examined in wild-type Escherichia coli cells and in an RNase E mutant strain. Pulse-chase labelling kinetics revealed a reduced rate of 50S subunit formation in both strains compared with 30S synthesis, which was unaffected by the antibiotic. Growth of cells in the presence of [14C]-erythromycin showed drug binding to 50S particles and to a 50S subunit precursor sedimenting at about 30S in sucrose gradients. Antibiotic binding to the precursor correlated with the decline in 50S formation in both strains. Erythromycin binding to the precursor showed the same 1:1 stoichiometry as binding to the 50S particle. Gel electrophoresis of rRNA from antibiotic-treated organisms revealed the presence of both 23S and 5S rRNAs in the 30S region of sucrose gradients. Hybridization with a 23S rRNA-specific probe confirmed the presence of this species of rRNA in the precursor. Eighteen 50S ribosomal proteins were associated with the precursor particle. A model is presented to account for erythromycin inhibition of 50S formation.

Abstract
The new class of antibiotics called ketolides is endowed with remarkable antibacterial activity against macrolide-resistant strains. Further modifications of the 3 keto-macrolactone backbone led to 11,12-hydrazonocarbamate ketolides with an imidazolyl pyridine chain: the file-leader of ketolide class, HMR 3647 (telithromycin), and its N-bis-demethyl-derivative, RU 72366. The potency of HMR 3647 is higher than that of RU 72366. Stereospecific 1H and 13C resonance assignments of HMR 3647 and RU 72366 have been determined and have allowed a detailed quantitative conformational analysis of the uncomplexed form of the molecules. The comparative conformation of HMR 3647 in solution and its N-bis-demethyl-derivative in D2O has been carried out using different heteronuclear correlation experiments in conjunction with nuclear Overhauser effect experiments and in particular long-range 3J(CH) coupling constants and using molecular dynamics (MD) methods. The study of ketolide ribosome interaction has been investigated using two-dimensional transferred nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (TRNOESY). The database of ribosome-bound ketolide structures has been used to compare the structure(s) of ketolide in ribosome-ketolide complexes with the conformational preferences of free ketolides and to highlight the significant differences between HMR 3647 and RU 72366. A comparison of the conformations bound to ribosome was made with those of other previously studied ketolide (RU 004) and macrolides and would explain the remarkable potencies of HMR 3647 in inhibiting protein synthesis.

Abstract
Two important lincosamide antibiotics, lincomycin and clindamycin were studied in the complex state with the bacterial ribosome after a conformational analysis by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling of the unbound molecules. Lincosamide-ribosome interactions were investigated using two-dimensional transferred nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (TRNOESY), resulting in a bound structure compatible with the experimental NMR data. The results compared with the conformational analysis of the substrates in solution indicate that specific conformations are preferred in the bound state. Clindamycin, the more bioactive antibiotic studied, displayed a stronger NMR response than lincomycin showing that in lincosamide-ribosome interactions, a low affinity binding level is associated to the tight binding one and is related to biological activity. This study shows that conformation plays an essential role for the low affinity binding site. Superimposition of lincosamide, macrolide and ketolide bound structures exhibited conformational similarities in a particular fragment which is in agreement with a hypothesis of partial overlapping lincosamide and macrolide binding sites.

Abstract
Conformational study of methylated derivatives of macrolide antibiotics roxithromycin (6-OMe-roxithromycin and 6,11-OMe-roxithromycin) has been achieved by NMR in solution and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and compared to 6-OMe-erythromycin (clarithromycin). A complete conformational study by NMR has been led by determination of homonuclear coupling constants and NOEs. Heteronuclear 1H-13C coupling constants were also measured to investigate the orientation of the sugar moieties with respect to the erythronolide. MD simulations were performed using the crystallographic coordinates as the starting conformation. For each compound, experimental results were compared to calculated conformations in order to identify eventual conformational equilibrium in solution. It is shown that the effect of the methylation is opposite for roxithromycin compared to erythromycin especially on motional properties as the roxithromycin derivatives gain in mobility while the erythromycin derivatives behaves as a more restrained molecule. The study of macrolide-ribosome interactions has been investigated using transferred NOESY 1H NMR experiments and the conformations weakly bound to bacterial ribosomes were determined. Biological interactions of these compounds with membranar liver protein cytochrome P450 was also discussed with regard to their structural properties.

Abstract
The study of macrolide-ribosome interactions has been investigated using two-dimensional transferred nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (TRNOESY). A new medically important macrolide antibiotic, roxithromycin, with the replacement of the 9-keto group in erythromycin by a 9-oxime chain, was studied in the complex state with the bacterial ribosome. Analysis of transferred nuclear Overhauser effect (TRNOE) experiment resulted in a set of constraints for all protons pairs. These constraints were used in structure determination procedures based on molecular modelling to obtain a bound structure compatible with the experimental NMR data. The results compared with the conformational analysis of the substrate in solution indicate that only one specific conformation is preferred in the bound state while in the free state the sugar ring moities were relatively disordered. The bioactive macrolide antibiotics studied roxithromycin and erythromycin which displayed a strong NMR response, are metabolized in RU39001 and erythralosamine respectively which do not retain antimicrobial activity. The inactive major metabolites were used to define if TRNOEs observation may be characteristic of a biological activity. These control experiments gave essentially blank TRNOESY spectra. This study shows that Mg2+ does not play a direct role for the low affinity binding site studied by TRNOE what is in agreement with an hypothesis of two distinct binding levels, with a low affinity binding level necessary for the tight binding one.

Abstract
Macrolide antibiotics are clinically important antibiotics which are effective inhibitors of protein biosynthesis in bacterial cells. We have recently shown that some of these compounds also inhibit 50S ribosomal subunit formation in Escherichia coli. Now we show that certain macrolides have the same effect in two gram-positive organisms, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. Assembly in B. subtilis was prevented by erythromycin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin but not by oleandomycin. 50S subunit formation in S. aureus was prevented by each of seven structurally related 14-membered macrolides but not by lincomycin or two streptogramin antibiotics. Erythromycin treatment did not stimulate the breakdown of performed 50S subunits in either organism. The formation of the 30S ribosomal subunit was also unaffected by these compounds. Assembly was also inhibited in a B. subtilis strain carrying a plasmid with the ermC gene that confers macrolide resistance by rRNA methylation. These results suggest that ribosomes contain an additional site for the inhibitory functions of macrolide antibiotics.

Abstract
The genes for ribosomal proteins L4 and L22 from two erythromycin-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli have been isolated and sequenced. In the L4 mutant, an A-to-G transition in codon 63 predicted a Lys-to-Glu change in the protein. In the L22 strain, a 9-bp deletion removed codons 82 to 84, eliminating the sequence Met-Lys-Arg from the protein. Consistent with these DNA changes, in comparison with wild-type proteins, both mutant proteins had reduced first-dimension mobilities in two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels. Complementation of each mutation by a wild-type gene on a plasmid vector resulted in increased erythromycin sensitivity in the partial-diploid strains. The fraction of ribosomes containing the mutant form of the protein was increased by growth in the presence of erythromycin. Erythromycin binding was increased by the fraction of wild-type protein present in the ribosome population. The strain with the L4 mutation was found to be cold sensitive for growth at 20 degrees C, and 50S-subunit assembly was impaired at this temperature. The mutated sequences are highly conserved in the corresponding proteins from a number of species. The results indicate the participation of these proteins in the interaction of erythromycin with the ribosome.

Abstract
Clarithromycin is a recently approved macrolide with improved pharmacokinetics, antibacterial activity, and efficacy in treating bacterial infections including those caused by Helicobacter pylori, an agent implicated in various forms of gastric disease. We successfully isolated ribosomes from H. pylori and present the results of a study of their interaction with macrolides. Kinetic data were obtained by using 14C-labeled macrolides to probe the ribosomal binding site. Clarithromycin, its parent compound erythromycin, and its 14-(R)-hydroxy metabolite all bound tightly to H. pylori ribosomes. Kd values were in the range of 2 x 10(-10) M, which is the tightest binding interaction observed to date for a macrolide-ribosome complex. This tight binding was due to very slow dissociation rate constants of 7.07 x 10(-4), 6.83 x 10(-4), and 16.6 x 10(-4) min-1 for clarithromycin, erythromycin, and 14-hydroxyclarithromycin, respectively, giving half-times of dissociation ranging from 7 to 16 h, the slowest yet measured for a macrolide-ribosome complex. These dissociation rate constants are 2 orders of magnitude slower than the dissociation rate constants of macrolides from other gram-negative ribosomes. [14C]clarithromycin was bound stoichiometrically to 50S ribosomal subunits following incubation with 70S ribosomes and subsequent separation of the 30S and 50S subunits by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. These data predict that the lower MIC of clarithromycin compared with that of erythromycin for H. pylori is likely due to a faster rate of intracellular accumulation, possibly because of increased hydrophobicity.

Abstract
We have elucidated a new mechanism for bacterial resistance to the 14-membered macrolides oleandomycin and erythromycin and the 15-membered macrolide azithromycin. Plasmid pNE24, previously isolated from a clinical specimen of Staphylococcus epidermidis, was characterized as causing resistance to 14-membered but not 16-membered macrolides by a mechanism suggested to involve reduced antibiotic permeation of bacterial cells (B. C. Lampson, W. von David, and J. T. Parisi, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 30:653-658, 1986). Our recent investigations have demonstrated that S. epidermidis 958-2 containing plasmid pNE24 also contains an energy-dependent macrolide efflux pump which maintains intracellular antibiotic concentrations below those required for binding to ribosomes. Thus, when strain 958-2 was pretreated with the inhibitor carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), macrolide accumulated at the same rate and to the same extent as in CCCP-treated or untreated control cells lacking plasmid pNE24 (strain 958-1). In contrast, macrolide did not accumulate in energy-competent strain 958-2 but did accumulate to levels equal to those of ribosomes immediately following CCCP addition. Furthermore, intracellular macrolide was excreted and bacteria resumed growth when CCCP but not macrolide was removed from the growth medium. As expected, the 16-membered macrolide niddamycin accumulated to the same level in energy-competent strains 958-1 and 958-2 at the same rapid rate. Macrolide incubated with lysates prepared from both strains or recovered from cells of strain 958-2 was unmodified and bound to ribosomes from strains 958-1 and 958-2 with identical affinities and kinetics, thus precluding a role for ribosome or drug alteration in the resistance mechanism. We conclude that the presence of plasmid pNE24 results in specific energy-dependent efflux of 14- and 15-membered macrolides.

Abstract
Erythromycin binds to a single site on the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit and perturbs protein synthesis. However, erythromycin contains desosamine and thus exists in both protonated (greater than 96%) and neutral (less than 4%) forms at physiological pH because of the pKa of the dimethylamino group. We therefore examined the relative roles of both forms in binding to ribosomes isolated from two species each of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. We developed a system to directly measure the forward (association) rate constant of formation of the macrolide-ribosome complex, and we have measured both the forward and reverse (dissociation) rate constants as a function of pH. Forward rate constants and binding affinity did not correlate with pH when the interaction of erythromycin with ribosomes from both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria was examined, demonstrating that the protonated form of this macrolide binds to ribosomes. Conversely, the neutral form of macrolide cannot be the sole binding species and appears to bind with the same kinetics as the protonated form. Forward rate constants were 3- to 4-fold greater at physiological pH, and binding affinity calculated from rate constants was 5- to 10-fold greater than previously estimated. Similar results were obtained with azithromycin, a novel 15-membered macrolide that contains an additional tertiary amine in the macrolide ring. Ribosome- and macrolide-specific kinetic parameters were demonstrated at neutral pH and may be related to the potency of the two macrolides against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Methods for the reductive methylation of the amino groups of eight different antibiotics using 3HCOH or H14COH are presented. The reductive labeling of an additional seven antibiotics by NaB3H4 is also described. The specific activity of the methyl-labeled drugs was determined by a phosphocellulose paper binding assay. Two quantitative assays for these compounds based on the reactivity of the antibiotic amino groups with fluorescamine and of the aldehyde and ketone groups with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine are also presented. Data on the cellular uptake and ribosome binding of these labeled compounds are also presented.

Abstract
Dimethylation of adenine 2058 in 23S rRNA renders bacteria resistant to macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogramin B (MLS resistance), because the antibiotic binding site on the altered 50S ribosomal subunit is no longer accessible. We now report that certain 6-O-methyl-11,12-cyclic carbamate derivatives of erythromycin are able to bind to dimethylated MLS-resistant 50S ribosomal subunits, thus inhibiting protein synthesis and cell growth. One of these novel structures, an 11-deoxy-11-(carboxyamino)-6-O-methylerythromycin A 11,12-(cyclic ester) derivative, structure 1a, was studied in detail. It inhibited in vitro protein synthesis in extracts prepared from both susceptible and MLS-resistant Bacillus subtilis with 50% inhibitory concentrations of 0.4 and 20 microM, respectively. The derivative bound specifically to a single site on the 50S subunit of MLS-resistant ribosomes prepared from B. subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, and no binding to 30S subunits was observed. The association rate constant of derivative 1a with sensitive and resistant ribosomes was 100- and 500-fold slower, respectively, than that of the parent compound, erythromycin, with sensitive ribosomes. The dissociation rate constant of 1a from sensitive and resistant ribosomes was 50- to 100-fold slower than the rate of erythromycin dissociation from sensitive ribosomes. Furthermore, 1a binding to sensitive 50S subunits led to induction of ermC and ermD, while binding to resistant 50S subunits did not, showing that perturbation of sensitive and resistant 50S subunit function by 1a differs. These data demonstrated that 1a is unique in its interaction with MLS-resistant ribosomes and that this interaction causes a novel allosteric perturbation of ribosome function.

Abstract
The macrolide antibiotics carbomycin A, niddamycin, and tylosin have been radioactively labeled by reducing their aldehyde group at the C-18 position. Dihydro derivatives with specific activities around 2.5 Ci/mmol can be obtained that, although partially affected in their activity, still bind to the ribosomes with high affinity. The presence in the chemical structure of these antibiotics of alpha-beta-unsaturated ketone groups makes them photochemically reactive, and by irradiation above 300 nm, covalent incorporation of the radioactive dihydro derivatives into ribosomes has been achieved. The covalent binding seems to take place at the specific binding sites for macrolides as deduced from binding saturation studies and competition experiments with unmodified drugs. Analysis of the ribosomal components labeled by the drugs indicated that most radioactivity is associated with the proteins L27, L2, and L28 when 50S subunits are labeled, and with L27, L2, L32/33, S9, and S12 in the case of 70S ribosomes. These results agree well with a model of macrolides' mode of action that assumes an interaction of the drug at the peptidyl transferase P site that would block the exit channel for the growing peptide chain.

Abstract
The puromycin-induced stimulation of [3H]dihydrorosaramicin binding is due to a twofold increase in affinity of the macrolide antibiotic, with no change in the number of binding sites. Conversely, the binding of [3H]puromycin (A site) is stimulated by rosaramicin. The synergistic effect observed between the two antibiotics can be explained by a conformational change with positive effect, which occurs at the level of their binding sites. Various effectors of [3H]dihydrorosaramicin binding have been tested. Adenosine and dimethyladenosine stimulate the binding; phenylalanine, uridine and gougerotin (A site) have no effect whereas AMP, ADP, ATP, GTP, puromycin 5'-phosphate and lincomycin (P site) are inhibitors. These results point to the importance of the purine moiety in the stimulatory effect and of the phosphate function in reversing this effect. It is concluded that rosaramicin binds to the ribosomal P site and that the synergism observed between rosaramicin and puromycin may be related to interactions between the A and P sites.

Abstract
There are seven ribosomal RNA operons (rrn operons) in Escherichia coli. A single rrn operon was amplified by use of a multicopy recombinant plasmid containing a complete rrnH operon. rrnH thereby has the potential to contribute a greater fraction of the rRNA found in ribosomes. Erythromycin-resistant mutants were isolated from cells containing the plasmid, and at least one mutation to resistance was shown to reside in rrnH on the plasmid. Erythromycin resistance was retained when a major deletion was introduced into the 16S rRNA gene and was abolished by deletions that affect the 16S and 23S rRNA genes but do not alter the 5S rRNA gene or non-rrnH DNA. Cell-free S30 protein-synthesizing extracts from cells containing the mutant plasmid have an increased resistance to erythromycin. The selection procedure used to isolate erythromycin-resistance mutations in rrnH may allow, with minor modifications, the isolation of mutations in rrn operons that change resistance of the ribosome to other antibiotics or that alter other properties of ribosomes.

Abstract
The significance of the binding of antibiotics in humans in still a controversial question. In principle, only free, unbound antibiotic is considered to be diffusible and biologically active. With unimpaired measurements and a binding balance within the normal therapeutic concentration range, the free portion of erythromycin in the human serum is found to depend significantly on the total concentration of erythromycin. For example, for concentrations of 1, 16 and 24 mg/l, approx. 74%, 54% and 46% are bound (+38 degrees C). binding is temperature-dependent and decreases with decreasing temperature. At +4 degrees C, 44% of 1 mg/l and 30% of 16 mg/l are bound. These binding characteristics are based in part on the properties of erythromycin's major binding partner in the serum - acidic alpha1-glycoprotein. Albumin only contributes slightly to the overall binding and is not concentration-dependent in the therapeutic range, i.e. it cannot be saturated. Binding phenomena have a decisive influence on the distribution of an antibiotic within an organism. In the case of erythromycin, the tissue levels in nearly every organ are higher, sometimes considerably higher, than the corresponding serum levels. We have shown the binding of erythromycin to cytosol and particle fractions in certain organs and compared this to the binding in the serum. The antibacterial principle regarding the efficacy of erythromycin is also based primarily on a binding reaction which maintains the concentration gradient for the intake of erythromycin in microorganisms. The kinetics ofintake (microorganism) are compared to those of binding (macroorganism) and referred to the minimum inhibitory concentration.

Abstract
Rosaramicin is a new macrolide antibiotic with activity similar to that of erythromycin. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of [3H]dihydrorosaramicin and show by sucrose gradient centrifugation, gel exclusion chromatography and equilibrium dialysis that rosaramicin and its dihydroderivative bind specifically to the 70-S ribosome and 50-S ribosomal subunit of Escherichia coli. Binding to the 30-S subunit is not detectable. The parameters of the binding interaction were evaluated by equilibrium dialysis. The affinities of E. coli ribosomes for rosaramicin and dihydrorosaramicin are in good agreement with the minimal inhibitory concentration of these drugs for microorganisms.

Abstract
Induction of the synthesis of a plasmid-encoded polypeptide (E3) by erythromycin is known to be required for the inducible expression of resistance to the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B group of antibiotics in Bacillus subtilis strains carrying the plasmid pE194. This resistance is mediated by a specific N6-dimethylation of adenine in the 23S rRNA of the large ribosomal subunit. We show in this report that E3 induction is regulated posttranscriptionally in the sense that it can occur when RNA synthesis is blocked and that induction is accompanied by an increase in the functional half-life of E3 mRNA but not of the mRNA species that code for the remaining four known pE194 polypeptides. The induction of E3 is subject to feedback regulation and involves the ribosome. Modification of the erythromycin binding site on the ribosome by methylation or by mutation interferes with induction.

Abstract
Turbidimetric and potentiometric techniques were applied to the analysis of an EryR mutant. Results show that in the mutant, the 30S subunits are drastically altered, as indicated by a higher Mg2+ requirement for subunit association and by an important difference in the titratable groups. Replacement of parental 50S by mutant 50S subunits does not decrease the association capacity with 30S parental subunits, but a structural difference is detected in the mutant 50S with potentiometric measurements. The mutation results in decreased ribosomal in vitro activities at 22 degrees C including lowered polyphenylalanine synthesis, drastic altered initiation step and the loss of erythromycin binding to the ribosomes. The results extend previous observation of a gene eryC part in the maturation of both subunits.

Abstract
We have studied the in vitro properties of ribosomes from several mutants resistant to erythromycin. Mutations in three different genes may confer resistance to erythromycin. Two of them are structural genes for proteins L4 and L22 of the large subunit. The third mutation (in eryC gene) seems to affect mainly the small subunit. The mechanism of action of the antibiotic may involve both subunits.

Abstract
All of several hundred erythromycin resistant single site mutants of Bacillus subtilis W168 are temperature senstive for sporulation. The mutants and wild type cells grow vegetatively at essentially the same rates at both permissive (30 degrees C) and nonpermissive (47 degrees C) temperatures. In addition cellular protein synthesis, cell mass increases and cell viabilities are similar in mutant and wild type strains for several hours after the end of vegetative growth (47 degrees C). in the mutants examined, the temperature sensitive periods begin when the sporulation process is approximately 40% completed, and end when the process is 90% completed. At nonpermissive temperatures, the mutants produce serine and metal proteases at 50% of the wild type rate, accumulate serine esterase at 16% of the wild type rate, and do not demonstrate a sporulation related increase in alkaline phosphatase activity. The eryR and spots phenotypes cotransform 100%, and cotransduce 100% using phage PBS1. Revertants selected for ability to sporulate normally at 47 degrees C (spot), simultaneously regain parental sensitivity to erthromycin. No second site revertants are found. Ribosomes from eryR spots strains bind erythromycin at less than 1% of the wild type rate. A single 50S protein (L17) from mutant ribosomes shows an altered electrophoretic mobility. Ribosomes from spo+ revertants bind erythromycin like parental ribosomes and their proteins are electrophoretically identical to wild type. These data indicate that the L17 protein of the 50S ribosomal subunit from Bacillus subtilis may participate specifically in the sporulation process.
