La blasticidina S es un antibiótico peptídico nucleósido aislado de Streptomyces griseochromogenes. Es un potente inhibidor de la síntesis de proteínas tanto en bacterias como en células eucariotas, pero también es activo contra hongos, nematodos, y células tumorales. La blasticidina S actúa bloqueando la hidrólisis de peptidil-ARNt inducida por factores de liberación e inhibe la formación de enlaces peptídicos. Se utiliza como agente de selección en células de mamíferos y bacterianas. La concentración de trabajo recomendada oscila entre 1 y 30 µg/ml en función de la línea de células y 25–100 µg/ml para selección bacteriana. La muerte celular se produce rápidamente, y las líneas de células de mamíferos estables y resistentes a la blasticidina se pueden generar en menos de una semana.

La resistencia a la blasticidina S se debe a BSR y BSD, aisladas de Bacillus cereus K55-S y Aspergillus terreus, respectivamente. El gen de resistencia a la BSR codifica la blasticidina S deaminasa, que cataliza la conversión de blasticidina S en deaminohidroxiblasticidina S. La deaminohidroxiblasticidina S es un derivado sin actividad biológica de la blasticidina S y no interactúa con los ribosomas procariotas o eucariotas ni los inhibe. El gen de resistencia a la BSD también codifica una blasticidina S deaminasa, que cataliza una reacción similar a la BSR deaminasa.

Con fines de selección de bacterias, el contenido de sal del medio LB debe mantenerse bajo (< 90 mM) y el pH no debe superar los 7,0 para conservar la actividad de la basticidina S. Se recomienda una curva de destrucción para determinar la concentración mínima efectiva de blasticidina S para eliminar células no resistentes.

Preguntas frecuentes

Which of your antibiotics (Geneticin, Zeocin, Hygromycin B, Blasticidin, and Puromycin) can be used together for stable selection in mammalian cells?

All of our antibiotics (Geneticin, Zeocin, Hygromycin B, Blasticidin, and Puromycin) can be used together for making multiple stable cell lines. However, kill curves will need to be performed for each combination of antibiotics since sensitivity to a given antibiotic tends to increase when combined with other antibiotics.

What are the recommended concentrations of antibiotics to use for selection in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

For best results, optimal concentrations for selection should be determined empirically in each unique experiment through dose response curves. However, to get a general idea of concentrations that have worked for individual cell types, please click on the following url: http://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/cell-culture/transfection/selection.html or type in “Selection Antibiotics” into our main search on www.thermofisher.com.

What is the mode of action on the following antibiotics: Blasticidin, Geneticin (G418), Hygromycin, and Zeocin?

Blasticidin: Nucleoside Inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells by interfering with peptidyl transfer reaction of protein synthesis, causing early termination of translation.

Geneticin (G418): Aminoglycoside Blocks protein synthesis in mammalian cells by interfering with ribosomal function.

Hygromycin: Aminocyclitol Inhibits protein synthesis by disrupting translocation and promoting mistranslation.

Zeocin: Intercalates with DNA and cleaves it.

What is the optimal pH of low salt LB for LB + blasticidin plates?

We recommend a pH of 7 or less and half the normal amount of NaCl in your LB media or plates.

See the following paper for details on optimal conditions: Yamaguchi et al (1965) Inhibition of Protein Synthesis by Blasticidin S. Journal of Biochemistry (Tokyo) Volume 57: pp 667-677.

How long can Blasticidin be stored at 4 degrees C after thawing? Does the unused portion have to be discarded after thawing?

Blasticidin is stable for 6 months when stored at 4 degrees C. Discard remaining material after this time.
