Publication Abstract from PubMed Combinations of streptogramins of group A and B (i.e. dalfoprisin and quinipristin) are "last-resort" antibiotics for treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive pathogens including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. Resistance to streptogramins has arisen via multiple mechanisms, including deactivation of the group A component by the large family of virginamycin O-acetyltransferase (Vat) enzymes. Despite the structural elucidation performed for the VatD acetyltransferase which provided a general molecular framework for activity, detailed characterization of the essential catalytic and antibiotic substrate-binding determinants in Vat enzymes is still lacking. We have determined the crystal structure of S. aureus VatA in apo, virginiamycin M1- and acetyl CoA-bound forms and provide an extensive mutagenesis and functional analysis of the structural determinants required for catalysis and streptogramin A recognition. Based on an updated genomic survey across the Vat enzyme family we identified key conserved residues critical for VatA activity that are not part of the O-acetylation catalytic apparatus. Exploiting such constraints of the Vat active site may lead to development of streptogramin A compounds that evade inactivation by Vat enzymes while retaining binding to their ribosomal target.
