cat resistance (procaryotic)

Chloramphenicol interacts with the 50s Subunit of bacterial ribosomes and blocks peptidyltransferase activity. The antibiotic is acting on gram negative as well as on gram positive bacteria. The enzyme Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) transfers one or two Acetyl groups to the hydroxyl-Residues of Chloramphenicol. This inactivates the antibiotic.


Usage and Biology

This chloramphenicol resistance gene was used in our expression vector to cultivate the plasmid in E. coli. We successfully selected the colonies on LB plates with chloramphenicol.
