A nuclear targeting and transformant selection system using an antibiotics blasticidin S and the BS deaminase selectable marker by homologous recombination is developed and simultaneously modifying two different chromosomal loci by a single-step cotransformation based on the combination of BSD and CAT selectable markers.
A [3Fe-4S] cluster and tRNA-dependent aminoacyltransferase BlsK in the biosynthesis of Blasticidin S
- Biology, ChemistryProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 2021
The characterization of a new class of aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-t RNA)–dependent enzyme, BlsK, from Streptomyces griseochromogenes is presented, which contains a [3Fe-4S] cluster that is necessary for its function and unprecedented in previously identified tRNA-dependent transferases.
Blasticidin S inhibits mammalian translation and enhances production of protein encoded by nonsense mRNA
