The antibiotics thiostrepton, siomycin, and sporangiomycin are closely related both in structure and in mode of action. Actinomycetes which produce this group of compounds possess ribonucleic acid-pentose methylases, which act upon 23S ribosomal ribonucleic acid and render ribosomes resistant to the action of these antibiotics. This is achieved via the formation of a single residue of 2'-O-methyladenosine per ribosome.
抗生素硫链丝菌素、西霉素和孢子囊霉素在结构和作用方式上密切相关。产生这类化合物的放线菌具有核糖核酸-戊糖甲基化酶,该酶作用于23S核糖体核糖核酸,使核糖体对这些抗生素的作用产生抗性。这是通过每个核糖体形成一个2'-O-甲基腺苷残基来实现的。
