Chemical structure: peptidyl nucleoside, aminoglycoside antibiotic. Nourseothricin (NTC) is a mixture of the related compounds streptothricin C, D, E, and F.
Application
Nourseothricin is used as a dominant selection antibiotic for genetically modified bacteria, yeasts, fungi, protozoa and plants.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Nourseothricin inhibits biosynthesis and induces miscoding. Resistance to nourseothricin is mediated by the sat1 encoded N-acetyltransferase. Nourseothricin is inactivated by acetylation of the β-amino group of the β-lysin.
Antifungal effective against Candida albicans. Candida species transformed with the gene encoding nourseothricin acetyltransferase (CaNAT1) were resistant to nourseothricin.
