The enhanced intracellular survival (Eis) protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Eis_Mtb), a regio-versatile N-acetyltransferase active towards many aminoglycosides (AGs), confers resistance to kanamycin A in some cases of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB). We assessed the activity of Eis_Mtb and of its homologue from Mycobacterium smegmatis (Eis_Msm) against a panel of anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs and lysine-containing compounds.
Both enzymes acetylated capreomycin and some lysine-containing compounds, but not other non-AG non-lysine-containing drugs tested. Modelling studies predicted the site of modification on capreomycin to be one of the two primary amines in its β-lysine side chain. Using Eis_Mtb, we established via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy that acetylation of capreomycin occurs on the ε-amine of the β-lysine side chain. Using Msm, we also demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge that acetylation of capreomycin results in deactivation of the drug.
Eis is a unique acetyltransferase capable of inactivating the anti-TB drug capreomycin, AGs and other lysine-containing compounds.
结核分枝杆菌(Eis_Mtb)的增强型细胞内存活(Eis)蛋白是一种区域多功能 N-乙酰转移酶,可作用于许多氨基糖苷类(AGs),在某些情况下可赋予耐多药结核病(XDR-TB)对卡那霉素 A 的抗性。我们评估了 Eis_Mtb 及其分枝杆菌同源物(Eis_Msm)对一组抗结核(TB)药物和赖氨酸化合物的活性。
两种酶均可乙酰化卷曲霉素和一些赖氨酸化合物,但不能乙酰化其他非 AG 非赖氨酸化合物。建模研究预测卷曲霉素的修饰部位为其β-赖氨酸侧链中的两个伯胺之一。通过使用 Eis_Mtb,我们通过核磁共振(NMR)光谱学确定卷曲霉素的乙酰化发生在β-赖氨酸侧链的ε-胺上。使用 Msm,我们还首次证明,据我们所知,卷曲霉素的乙酰化导致药物失活。
Eis 是一种独特的乙酰转移酶,能够使抗结核药物卷曲霉素、AGs 和其他赖氨酸化合物失活。
