Fusidic acid: inhibition of factor T2 in reticulocyte protein synthesis.
The steroid antibiotic fusidic acid inhibits reticulocyte protein synthesis. This inhibition appears to be due to interference with the activity of the T(2) supernatant fraction, and strengthens the proposition that T(2) is functionally analogous to the G-factor of bacterial protein synthesis, which is also specifically inhibited by this antibiotic.
