3-Methoxybenzamide (3-MBA), which is known to be an inhibitor of ADP-ribosyltransferase, inhibits cell division in Bacillus subtilis, leading to filamentation and eventually lysis of cells. Our genetic analysis of 3-MBA-resistant mutants indicated that the primary target of the drug is the cell division system involving FtsZ function during both vegetative growth and sporulation.
3-甲氧基苯甲酰胺(3-MBA)是一种已知的ADP-核糖基转移酶抑制剂,它能抑制枯草芽孢杆菌的细胞分裂,导致细胞形成丝状体并最终裂解。我们对3-MBA抗性突变体的遗传分析表明,该药物的主要靶点是在营养生长和孢子形成过程中涉及FtsZ功能的细胞分裂系统。
