Resistance to streptothricin was studied in bacteria with different resistance mechanisms. The laboratory-induced streptothricin-resistant mutant E. coli A19 Stcr 2/2/1 showed a high level of cross-resistance to aminoglycosides and other miscoding inducing antibiotics. In contrast, aminoglycosid-resistant E. coli strains with plasmid-determined aminoglycoside modifying enzymes were sensitive to streptothricin. Enzymatic inactivation of streptothricin by acetylation was demonstrated for the streptothricin producing Streptomyces noursei, strain NG13. This strain showed no cross-resistance to miscoding inducing aminoglycosides.

Background: Electronic medical record (EMR)-based studies hold great potential for epidemiologic investigations of Parkinson's disease (PD) causal factors and phenomenology, but diagnostic misclassification may obscure or bias inferences.
Objectives: The aims were to determine the validity of PD diagnostic codes in the Veterans Administration (VA) national electronic medical databases and develop recommendations for maximizing ascertainment accuracy.
Methods: We investigated a cohort of 146,776 veterans who utilized VA healthcare between 1999 and 2021.
Lasso peptides, biologically active molecules with a distinct structurally constrained knotted fold, are natural products belonging to the class of ribosomally-synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs). Lasso peptides act upon several bacterial targets, but none have been reported to inhibit the ribosome, one of the main antibiotic targets in the bacterial cell. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the lasso peptide antibiotic, lariocidin (LAR), and its internally cyclized derivative, lariocidin B (LAR-B), produced by .

By replicating damaged nucleotides, error-prone DNA translesion synthesis (TLS) enables the completion of replication, albeit at the expense of fidelity. TLS of helix-distorting DNA lesions, that usually have reduced capacity of basepairing, comprises insertion opposite the lesion followed by extension, the latter in particular by polymerase ζ (Pol ζ). However, little is known about involvement of Pol ζ in TLS of non- or poorly-distorting, but miscoding, lesions such as O-methyldeoxyguanosine (O-medG).

Nonsense mutations cause several genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, β-thalassemia, and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. These mutations induce the formation of a premature termination codon (PTC) inside the mRNA sequence, resulting in the synthesis of truncated polypeptides. Nonsense suppression therapy mediated by translational readthrough-inducing drugs (TRIDs) is a promising approach to correct these genetic defects.
