Abstract
|
 |
|
The fosfomycin resistance protein FomA inactivates fosfomycin by phosphorylation
of the phosphonate group of the antibiotic in the presence of ATP and Mg(II). We
report the crystal structure of FomA from the fosfomycin biosynthetic gene
cluster of Streptomyces wedmorensis in complex with diphosphate and in ternary
complex with the nonhydrolyzable ATP analog adenosine
5'-(beta,gamma-imido)-triphosphate (AMPPNP), Mg(II), and fosfomycin, at 1.53 and
2.2A resolution, respectively. The polypeptide exhibits an open alphabetaalpha
sandwich fold characteristic for the amino acid kinase family of enzymes. The
diphosphate complex shows significant disorder in loops surrounding the active
site. As a result, the nucleotide-binding site is wide open. Binding of the
substrates is followed by the partial closure of the active site and ordering of
the alpha2-helix. Structural comparison with N-acetyl-l-glutamate kinase shows
several similarities in the site of phosphoryl transfer: 1) preservation of
architecture of the catalytical amino acids of N-acetyl-l-glutamate kinase
(Lys(9), Lys(216), and Asp(150) in FomA); 2) good superposition of the phosphate
acceptor groups of the substrates, and 3) good superposition of the diphosphate
molecule with the beta- and gamma-phosphates of AMPPNP, suggesting that the
reaction could proceed by an associative in-line mechanism. However, differences
in conformations of the triphosphate moiety of AMPPNP molecules, the long
distance (5.1A) between the phosphate acceptor and donor groups in FomA, and
involvement of Lys(18) instead of Lys(9) in binding with the gamma-phosphate may
indicate a different reaction mechanism. The present work identifies the active
site residues of FomA responsible for substrate binding and specificity and
proposes their roles in catalysis.
