Pyruvate kinase (PYK) is the last enzyme in this pathway that catalyzes the production of pyruvate from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and plays a crucial role in controlling carbon flux; however, while S. pneumoniae PYK (SpPYK) is indispensable for growth, surprisingly little is known about its functional properties. Here, we report that compromising mutations in SpPYK confers resistance to the antibiotic fosfomycin, which inhibits the peptidoglycan synthesis enzyme MurA, implying a direct link between PYK and cell wall biogenesis. The crystal structures of SpPYK in the apo and ligand-bound states reveal key interactions that contribute to its conformational change as well as residues responsible for the recognition of PEP and the allosteric activator fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP). Strikingly, FBP binding was observed at a location distinct from previously reported PYK effector binding sites. Furthermore, we show that SpPYK could be engineered to become more responsive to glucose 6-phosphate instead of FBP by sequence and structure-guided mutagenesis of the effector binding site. Together, our work sheds light on the regulatory mechanism of SpPYK and lays the groundwork for antibiotic development that targets this essential enzyme.
