Previous studies carried out by our group with laboratory strains of S. aureus demonstrated the ability of PBP4 to produce beta-lactam resistance through mutations associated with the pbp4 promoter and/or gene. Recent studies of beta-lactam-resistant clinical isolates of S. aureus have reported similar mutations associated with pbp4. OBJECTIVES: To determine if pbp4-associated mutations reported among clinical strains of S. aureus mediate beta-lactam resistance. METHODS: The pbp4 promoters and genes bearing mutations from clinical isolates were cloned into a heterologous host. Reporter, growth and Bocillin assays were performed to assess their role in beta-lactam resistance. X-ray crystallography was used to obtain acyl-enzyme intermediate structures of the WT and mutant PBP4 with nafcillin and cefoxitin. RESULTS: Of the five strains that contained pbp4 promoter mutations, three strains exhibited enhanced expression of PBP4. The R200L mutation in pbp4 resulted in increased survival in the presence of the beta-lactams nafcillin and cefoxitin. Further, introduction of either a promoter or a gene mutation into the genome of a WT host increased the ability of the strains to resist the action of beta-lactams. The four high-resolution X-ray structures presented demonstrate the binding pose of the beta-lactams tested and provide hints for further drug development. CONCLUSIONS: Mutations associated with the pbp4 promoter and pbp4 gene altered protein activity and mediated beta-lactam resistance among the clinically isolated strains that were studied.
