In one of the earlier reports hydroxyl radical footprinting was employed to analyze the interaction of distamycin and actinomycin with the 5s ribosomal RNA genes of Xenopus (Churchill et al, 1990). The two drugs showed different hydroxyl radical footprints. Distamycin gives a conventional (albeit high-resolution) footprint, while actinomycin does not protect DNA from hydroxyl radical attack, but instead induces...

In many ways, mitochondria resemble bacteria for example, the mitochondrial ribosomal RNA genes of all eukaryotes have been traced back to the eubacteria [10]. This can explain why some antibacterial compounds with the target of inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis also inhibit mitochondrial protein synthesis [6, 11, 12], resulting in hematotoxicity. Tetracycline, chloramphemcol and some oxazolidinone antibiotics have been shown to induce hematotoxicity by inhibiting mitochondrial protein synthesis [13].

Some organisms must amplify genes to keep pace with the high demand for certain gene products, especially in early development. Histones, ribosomal proteins, and ribosomal RNA genes are amplified.
