Misreading of Ribonucleic Acid Code Words Induced by Aminoglycoside Antibiotics

Open access

Abstract

Aminoglycoside antibiotics were found to vary widely in the effect of variation in their concentration on the degree of misreading of synthetic RNA messengers. Thus, neomycin, kanamycin, and gentamicin showed a 3- to 5-fold increase in the level of misreading as the drug concentration was raised from 10−6 to 10−4M. This effect suggests that each of these drugs may act on more than one site. Observed changes in the qualitative nature of the misreading at different concentrations support this inference, which is also consistent with the absence of one-step mutants with high level resistance to these drugs. In contrast, little increase in misreading, over the same concentration range, was seen with streptomycin and paromomycin, for which one-step, high level, resistant mutants are known. It therefore seems that these drugs each act on only a single site.

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.
