We demonstrate that the Bacillus subtilis fosB(yndN) gene encodes a fosfomycin resistance protein. Expression of fosB requires sigma(W), and both fosB and sigW mutants are fosfomycin sensitive. FosB is a metallothiol transferase related to the FosA class of Mn(2+)-dependent glutathione transferases but with a preference for Mg(2+) and L-cysteine as cofactors.
我们证明枯草芽孢杆菌fosB(yndN)基因编码一种磷霉素抗性蛋白。fosB的表达需要σ(W),并且fosB和sigW突变体对磷霉素均敏感。FosB是一种金属硫醇转移酶,与依赖锰(2+)的谷胱甘肽转移酶FosA类相关,但更倾向于以镁(2+)和L-半胱氨酸作为辅因子。
