Popis: | Significance ARE ABC-F genes have been found in numerous pathogen genomes and multi-drug resistance conferring plasmids. Further transmission will challenge the clinical use of many antibiotics. The development of improved ribosome-targeting therapeutics relies on the elucidation of the resistance mechanisms. Characterization of MsrE protein bound to the bacterial ribosome is first of its kind for ARE ABC-F members. Together with biochemical data, it sheds light on the ribosome protection mechanism by domain linker-mediated conformational change and displacement leading to drug release, suggesting a mechanism shared by other ARE ABC-F proteins. These proteins present an intriguing example of structure-function relationship and a medically relevant target of study as they collectively mediate resistance to the majority of antibiotic classes targeting the peptidyl-transferase center region. The ribosome is one of the richest targets for antibiotics. Unfortunately, antibiotic resistance is an urgent issue in clinical practice. Several ATP-binding cassette family proteins confer resistance to ribosome-targeting antibiotics through a yet unknown mechanism. Among them, MsrE has been implicated in macrolide resistance. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of ATP form MsrE bound to the ribosome. Unlike previously characterized ribosomal protection proteins, MsrE is shown to bind to ribosomal exit site. Our structure reveals that the domain linker forms a unique needle-like arrangement with two crossed helices connected by an extended loop projecting into the peptidyl-transferase center and the nascent peptide exit tunnel, where numerous antibiotics bind. In combination with biochemical assays, our structure provides insight into how MsrE binding leads to conformational changes, which results in the release of the drug. This mechanism appears to be universal for the ABC-F type ribosome protection proteins. |
