Disease relevance of rpsL

  • Mutations conferring resistance to low levels of kanamycin in Escherichia coli have been mapped at 3 locations: the unc locus (min. 83), a locus we have designated kanA (MIN. 72), close to strA (rpsL), and a locus at min [1].
 

High impact information on rpsL

  • The unc and ecfB mutations are associated with defects in energy metabolism, while mutations at kanA may be in the gene coding for ribosomal protein S12 (rpsL) [1].
  • In this system, any form of inactivation mutation in the rpsL gene can be positively selected since it makes the E. coli cells resistant to streptomycin [2].
