多粘菌素是一种阳离子肽类抗生素，曾因毒性问题而被废弃，但已在临床上复兴并广泛用于治疗多重耐药（MDR）感染。对多粘菌素类抗生素的耐药性越来越受到关注，因此，它会严重损害我们对抗 MDR 感染的能力。 ArnT（4-氨基-4-脱氧-L-阿拉伯糖转移酶）是一种完整的脂质-脂质修饰脂质 A 的糖基转移酶，脂质 A 是细菌脂多糖 (LPS) 的脂质成分。ArnT 位于革兰氏阴性菌的内膜中，催化修饰的阿拉伯糖部分从十一碳烯磷酸酯转移到脂质 A。添加阿拉伯糖部分会导致细菌外膜的电荷修饰，限制其与阳离子肽的相互作用, 并使细菌对多粘菌素类抗生素和天然抗菌肽产生抗性。在这里，我们分别报道了革兰氏阴性细菌 ArnT 的晶体结构，单独和与脂质载体磷酸十一碳烯酯复合，分辨率分别为 2.8 和 3.2A。ArnT 由一个具有 13 个跨膜螺旋的跨膜结构域和一个周质可溶性结构域组成。整体折叠让人联想到来自细菌和古细菌的蛋白质糖基转移酶，但 ArnT 具有与其作为脂质糖基转移酶的功能相关的独特特征。地点。

ArnT: Structure and Mechanism of the Aminoarabinose Transferase Responsible for Resistance to Polymyxin-Class Antibiotics

Polymyxins are cationic peptide antibiotics, once discarded due to toxicity concerns, that have been revived in the clinic and are widely used to treat multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections. Resistance to polymyxin-class antibiotics is a growing concern, as a result, one that can critically impair our ability to combat MDR infections.ArnT (4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose transferase) is an integral lipid-to-lipid glycosyltransferase that modifies lipid A, the lipid component of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). ArnT is located in the inner membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and catalyzes the transfer of a modified arabinose moiety from undecaprenyl phosphate to lipid A. The addition of the arabinose moiety causes a charge modification of the bacterial outer membrane, limiting its interactions with cationic peptides, and enabling bacteria to develop resistance to polymyxin-class antibiotics and natural antimicrobial peptides.Here we report crystal structures of ArnT from a gram-negative bacterium, alone and in complex with the lipid carrier undecaprenyl phosphate, at 2.8 and 3.2A resolution, respectively. ArnT consists of a transmembrane domain with thirteen transmembrane helices and a periplasmic soluble domain. The overall fold is reminiscent of protein glycosyltransferases from bacteria and archaea, but ArnT possesses unique features that are related to its function as a lipid glycosyltransferase.Notably, we identify cavities for both lipidic substrates, accessible to the membrane environment, that converge at the active site. We observe a significant coil-to-helix structural transition upon binding of undecaprenyl phosphate that stabilizes the carrier lipid near the active site and expands the lipid A cavity, likely enabling subsequent binding of lipid A. Finally, we utilize a polymyxin resistance assay to investigate the role of particular residues in light of the structures, and propose a model for catalysis by ArnT family enzymes.
