Self-resistance has been investigated in Streptomyces caelestis (producer of the lincosamide antibiotic celesticetin), from which a lincosamide resistance determinant (clr) has been isolated on a 1-kilobase DNA fragment and cloned in Streptomyces lividans. The clr product is a specific methylase which produces a single residue of N6-monomethyladenine in 23S rRNA at position 2058, thereby rendering the 50S ribosmal subunit resistant to the action of lincosamides.
已对天蓝色链霉菌(林可酰胺类抗生素天青菌素的产生菌)的自身抗性进行了研究,从该菌中在一个1千碱基的DNA片段上分离出一种林可酰胺抗性决定子(clr),并将其克隆到淡紫灰链霉菌中。clr产物是一种特异性甲基化酶,它在23S rRNA的2058位产生一个N6-单甲基腺嘌呤残基,从而使50S核糖体亚基对林可酰胺类的作用产生抗性。
