Antibiotic that inhibits trans-translation blocks binding of EF-Tu to tmRNA but not to tRNA
ABSTRACT trans-Translation is conserved throughout bacteria and is essential in many species. High-throughput screening identified a tetrazole-based trans-translation inhibitor, KKL-55, that has broad-spectrum antibiotic activity. A biotinylated version of KKL-55 pulled down elongation factor thermo...
