Expression of the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin-B-resistance methylase gene, ermE, from Streptomyces erythraeus in Escherichia coli results in N6-monomethylation and N6,N6-dimethylation of ribosomal RNA
Gene.
1987.
Abstract
The ermE gene was cloned from Streptomyces erythraeus into Escherichia coli on a series of plasmids. When transcribed from the lac promoter, ermE conferred high-level resistance to erythromycin and other macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin-B (MLS) antibiotics. A methylase activity capable of N6-mono- and N6,N6-dimethylation of adenine residues in E. coli rRNA was detected in extracts of MLS-resistant cells. In addition, rRNA extracted from MLS-resistant E. coli contained N6-mono- and N6,N6-dimethylated adenine residues.
