Anisomycin, an antibiotic that specifically inhibits the peptidyl transfer function of eukaryotic ribosomes, has been used to select resistant mutants in Tetrahymena thermophila. A mutation conferring anisomycin resistance (an-r) has been localized to a 1.2-kb fragment of the large subunit ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene by transformation via microinjection. A single base pair change was detected within this region. Nine independently isolated an-r mutants had the same base pair change. T. thermophila strains that are homozygous for this mutation are cold sensitive, unable to mate and grossly abnormal in cell morphology.
茴香霉素是一种特异性抑制真核生物核糖体肽基转移功能的抗生素,已被用于在嗜热四膜虫中筛选抗性突变体。通过显微注射转化,赋予茴香霉素抗性(an-r)的突变已定位到大亚基核糖体RNA(rRNA)基因的一个1.2 kb片段上。在该区域内检测到一个单碱基对变化。九个独立分离的an-r突变体具有相同的碱基对变化。对于该突变纯合的嗜热四膜虫菌株对冷敏感,无法交配,并且细胞形态严重异常。
