Antibiotic that inhibits trans -translation blocks binding of EF-Tu to tmRNA but not to tRNA.

PubMed Abstract: Elongation factor thermo-unstable (EF-Tu) is a universally conserved translation factor that mediates productive interactions between tRNAs and the ribosome. In bacteria, EF-Tu also delivers transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA)-SmpB to the ribosome during -translation. We report the first small molecule, KKL-55, that specifically inhibits EF-Tu activity in -translation without affecting its activity in normal translation. KKL-55 has broad-spectrum antibiotic activity, suggesting that compounds targeted to the tmRNA-binding interface of EF-Tu could be developed into new antibiotics to treat drug-resistant infections.
