Effect of paromomycin (PR) on mitochondrial and cytoplasmic protein synthesis in promastigotes of wild-type and paromomycin-resistant Leishmania donovani
| Treatment | Wild-type | PRr |
|---|---|---|
| Untreated control | 100 | 100 |
| PR (1 mM) | 79 ± 3.5 | 98 ± 2.1 |
| Cycloheximide (70 µM) | 51 ± 3.5 | 38 ± 11.3 |
| PR + Cycloheximide | 29 ± 9.8 | 42 ± 12.7 |
| Chloramphenicol (1 mM) | 59 ± 5.7 | 66 ± 5.6 |
| PR + Chloramphenicol | 29 ± 1.4 | 66 ± 2.1 |
Cells were treated as described in materials and methods. Results are expressed as percentage incorporation of isoleucine in treated cells in comparison to the untreated controls. Data represents mean ± SD of duplicate values from two independent experiments.
