摘要

Novel antimicrobial targets are urgently needed to overcome rising antibiotic resistance ofnimportant human pathogens including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Here we reportnthe essentiality and kinetic properties of MRSA pyruvate kinase (PK). Targetron-mediated gene disruptionndemonstrated PKis essential for S. aureus growth and survival, suggesting that this proteinmay be a potentialndrug target. The presence of the pfk (6-phosphofructokinase)-pyk operon inMRSA252, and the nonessentialnnature of PFK shown by targetron, further emphasized the essential role of PK in cell viability. Thenimportance of PKin bacterial growth was confirmed by showing that its enzymatic activity peaked during thenlogarithmic phase of S. aureus growth. PK from Staphylococcus and several other species of bacteria have annextra C-terminal domain (CT) containing a phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) binding motif. To elucidate thenpossible structure and function of this sequence, the quaternary structures and kinetic properties of the full-nlengthMRSA PK and truncatedMRSA PK lacking the CT domain were characterized. Our results showednthat (1) MRSA PK is an allosteric enzyme with homotetramer architecture activated by AMP or ribosen5-phosphate (R5P), but not by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), which suggests a different mode of allostericnregulation when compared with human isozymes, (2) the CT domain is not required for the tetramerization ofnthe enzyme; homotetramerization occurred in a truncated PK lacking the domain, (3) truncated enzymenexhibited high affinity toward both PEP and ADP and exhibited hyperbolic kinetics toward PEP in thenpresence of activators (AMP andR5P) consistent with kinetic properties of full-length enzyme, indicating thatnthe CT domain is not required for substrate binding or allosteric regulation observed in the holoenzyme, (4)nthe kinetic efficiency (kcat/S0.5) of truncated enzyme was decreased by 24- and 16-fold, in ligand-free state,ntoward PEP and ADP, respectively, but was restored by 3-fold in AMP-bound state, suggesting that thensequence containing the CT domain (Gly473n-Leu585n) plays a substantial role in enzyme activity andncomformational stability, and (5) full-length MRSA PK activity was stimulated at low concentrations ofnATP (e.g., 1 mM) and inhibited by inorganic phosphate and high concentrations of FBP (10 mM) and ATPn(e.g., >2.5 mM), whereas for truncated enzyme, stimulation at low concentrations of ATP was lost. Thesenfindings suggest that the CT domain is involved in maintaining the specificity of allosteric regulation ofnMRSA PK by AMP, R5P, and ATP. The CT extension also encodes a protein domain with homology tonenzyme I of the Escherichia coli sugar-PTS system, suggesting that MRSA PK may also exert an importantnregulatory role in sugar transportmetabolism. These findings yield new insights intoMRSA PKfunction andnmode of allosteric regulation which may aid in the development of clinically important drugs targeting thisnenzyme and further define the role of the extra C-terminal domain in modulating the enzyme’s activity.
