Antibiotics Flashcards
Rifampin
Transcription
Initiation
Binds subunit of RNAP
No formation of first phosphodiester bond
Used for mycobacteria and G+
Streptolydigin
Transcription
Elongation
Beta subunit of RNAP
Actinomycin D
Too toxic for clinical use
Transcription
Elongation
dsDNA
Blocks movement of the holoenzyme
Can inhibit DNA replication at higher concentration
Streptomycin
And other aminoglycosides: gentamycin, neomycin, amikacin
Translation
Initiation
Blocks assembly of 70s initiation complex
Causes misreading by ribosomes that have passed through initiation
Tetracycline
Doxycycline
Minocycline
Translation
Elongation
Blocks binding of charged tRNAs to the acceptor site
Chloramphenicol
Translation
Elongation
Binds on peptidyltransferase
Blocks the transpeptidation step
Erythromycin
Translation
Elongation
Blocks translocation
Quinolones
Dna replication
Blocks negative supercoiling
Blocks replication and cell growth
