Its activity in Gram-negatives, however, can be compromised by expression of FosA, a metal-dependent transferase that catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione to fosfomycin, rendering the antibiotic inactive. In this study, we solved the crystal structures of two of the most clinically relevant FosA enzymes: plasmid-encoded FosA3 from Escherichia coli and chromosomally-encoded FosA from Klebsiella pneumoniae (FosAKP). The structure, molecular dynamics, catalytic activity, and fosfomycin resistance of FosA3 and FosAKP were also compared to FosA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (FosAPA), for which prior crystal structures exist. Escherichia coli TOP10 transformants expressing FosA3 and FosAKP conferred significantly greater fosfomycin resistance (MIC, >1,024 mug/ml) compared to FosAPA (MIC, 16 mug/ml), which could be explained in part by the higher catalytic efficiencies of the FosA3 and FosAKP enzymes. Interestingly, these differences in enzyme activity could not be attributed to structural differences at their active sites. Instead, molecular dynamics simulations and hydrogen-deuterium exchange experiments of FosAKP revealed dynamic interconnectivity between its active sites and a loop structure that extends from the active site of each monomer and traverses the dimer interface. This "dimer-interface" loop is longer and more extended in FosAKP and FosA3 compared to FosAPA, and kinetic analyses of FosAKP and FosAPA loop-swapped chimeric enzymes highlighted its importance in FosA activity. Collectively, these data yield novel insights into fosfomycin resistance that could be leveraged to develop new strategies to inhibit FosA and potentiate fosfomycin activity.
