Abstract

The binding of demeclocycline (6-demethylchlortetracycline) to ribosomes and ribosomal subunits from Escherichia coli was investigated by using the fluorescence anisotropy of the antibiotic to determine the extent of binding. Binding data obtained from 70S and 30S particles differed fundamentally from those obtained from 50S subunits: the first two showed a strong, specific interaction while the third did not. In addition, all three particles possessed weak, unspecific binding sites. Computer-aided least-squares analysis of the data yielded the following numbers of sites and equilibrium constants: for 30S, n1 = 1, K1 = 2.2 X 10(6) M-1, n2 K2 = 0.029 X 10(6) M-1; for 50S, n1 = 0, n2 K2 = 0.035 X 10(6) M-1; for 70S, n1 = 1, K1 = 3.2 X 10(6) M-1, n2 K2 = 0.082 X 10(6) M-1. These data resolve current disagreement in the literature and are a prerequisite for quantitative studies of the mechanism of inhibition by tetracycline of protein biosynthesis.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The primary (and Tet-1) site is the most highly occupied site in both structures showing tetracycline bound to the 30S subunit, consistent with the high-affinity site being the inhibitory site.

    “(i) the primary (and Tet-1) site is the most highly occupied site in both structures showing tetracycline bound to the 30S subunit (4, 37) consistent with the idea that the high-affinity site is the inhibitory site (17, 47, 56).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
