Abstract

Summary Aminoglycoside antibiotics directly target the ribosome, yet the mechanisms by which they induce cell death are not fully understood. Recently, oxidative stress has been implicated as one of the mechanisms whereby bactericidal antibiotics kill bacteria. Here we work out, using systems-level approaches and phenotypic analyses, the pathway whereby aminoglycosides ultimately trigger hydroxyl radical formation. We show, by disabling systems which facilitate membrane protein traffic, that mistranslation and misfolding of membrane proteins are central to aminoglycoside-induced oxidative stress and cell death. We also demonstrate that signaling through the envelope stress response two-component system is a key player in this process, and highlight an associated role for the redox-responsive two-component system. Additionally, we show that these two-component systems play a general role in bactericidal antibiotic-mediated oxidative stress and cell death, expanding our understanding of the common mechanism of killing induced by bactericidal antibiotics.

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.
