Antibiotic hyper-resistance in a class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase with altered active site signature motif
Abstract Antibiotics target key biological processes that include protein synthesis. Bacteria respond by developing resistance, which increases rapidly due to antibiotics overuse. Mupirocin, a clinically used natural antibiotic, inhibits isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IleRS), an enzyme that links isoleu...
