Accumulation of a polyisoprene-linked amino sugar in polymyxin-resistant Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli: structural characterization and transfer to lipid A in the periplasm.

Polymyxin-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium accumulate a novel minor lipid that can donate 4-amino-4-deoxy-l-arabinose units (l-Ara4N) to lipid A. We now report the purification of this lipid from a pss(-) pmrA(C) mutant of E. coli and assign its structure as undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-l-Ara4N. Approximately 0.2 mg of homogeneous material was isolated from an 8-liter culture by solvent extraction, followed by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, C18 reverse phase resin, and silicic acid. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight mass spectrometry in the negative mode yielded a single species [M - H](-) at m/z 977.5, consistent with undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-l-Ara4N (M(r) = 978.41). (31)P NMR spectroscopy showed a single phosphorus atom at -0.44 ppm characteristic of a phosphodiester linkage. Selective inverse decoupling difference spectroscopy demonstrated that the undecaprenyl phosphate group is attached to the anomeric carbon of the l-Ara4N unit. One- and two-dimensional (1)H NMR studies confirmed the presence of a polyisoprene chain and a sugar moiety with chemical shifts and coupling constants expected for an equatorially substituted arabinopyranoside. Heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence spectroscopy analysis demonstrated that a nitrogen atom is attached to C-4 of the sugar residue. The purified donor supports in vitro conversion of lipid IV(A) to lipid II(A), which is substituted with a single l-Ara4N moiety. The identification of undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-l-Ara4N implies that l-Ara4N transfer to lipid A occurs in the periplasm of polymyxin-resistant strains, and establishes a new enzymatic pathway by which Gram-negative bacteria acquire antibiotic resistance. << Less

Oxidative decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronic acid in extracts of polymyxin-resistant Escherichia coli. Origin of lipid A species modified with 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose.

Addition of the 4-amino-4-deoxy-l-arabinose (l-Ara4N) moiety to the phosphate groups of lipid A is implicated in bacterial resistance to polymyxin and cationic antimicrobial peptides of the innate immune system. The sequences of the products of the Salmonella typhimurium pmrE and pmrF loci, both of which are required for polymyxin resistance, recently led us to propose a pathway for l-Ara4N biosynthesis from UDP-glucuronic acid (Zhou, Z., Lin, S., Cotter, R. J., and Raetz, C. R. H. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 18503-18514). We now report that extracts of a polymyxin-resistant mutant of Escherichia coli catalyze the C-4" oxidation and C-6" decarboxylation of [alpha-(32)P]UDP-glucuronic acid, followed by transamination to generate [alpha-(32)P]UDP-l-Ara4N, when NAD and glutamate are added as co-substrates. In addition, the [alpha-(32)P]UDP-l-Ara4N is formylated when N-10-formyltetrahydrofolate is included. These activities are consistent with the proposed functions of two of the gene products (PmrI and PmrH) of the pmrF operon. PmrI (renamed ArnA) was overexpressed using a T7 construct, and shown by itself to catalyze the unprecedented oxidative decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronic acid to form uridine 5'-(beta-l-threo-pentapyranosyl-4"-ulose diphosphate). A 6-mg sample of the latter was purified, and its structure was validated by NMR studies as the hydrate of the 4" ketone. ArnA resembles UDP-galactose epimerase, dTDP-glucose-4,6-dehydratase, and UDP-xylose synthase in oxidizing the C-4" position of its substrate, but differs in that it releases the NADH product. << Less

Modification of lipid A with the 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (L-Ara4N) moiety is required for resistance to polymyxin and cationic antimicrobial peptides in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. An operon of seven genes (designated pmrHFIJKLM in S. typhimurium), which is regulated by the PmrA transcription factor and is also present in E. coli, is necessary for the maintenance of polymyxin resistance. We previously elucidated the roles of pmrHFIJK in the biosynthesis and attachment of L-Ara4N to lipid A and renamed these genes arn-BCADT, respectively. We now propose functions for the last two genes of the operon, pmrL and pmrM. Chromosomal inactivation of each of these genes in an E. coli pmrA(c) parent switched its phenotype from polymyxin-resistant to polymyxin-sensitive. Lipid A was no longer modified with L-Ara4N, even though the levels of the lipid-linked donor of the L-Ara4N moiety, undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-L-Ara4N, were not reduced in the mutants. However, the undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-L-Ara4N present in the mutants was less concentrated on the periplasmic surface of the inner membrane, as judged by 4-5-fold reduced labeling with the inner membrane-impermeable amine reagent N-hydroxysulfosuccin-imidobiotin. In an arnT mutant of the same pmrA(c) parent, which lacks the enzyme that transfers the L-Ara4N unit to lipid A but retains the same high levels of undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-L-Ara4N as the parent, N-hydroxysulfosuccinimidobiotin labeling was not reduced. These results implicate pmrL and pmrM, but not arnT, in transporting undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-L-Ara4N across the inner membrane. PmrM and PmrL, now renamed ArnE and ArnF because of their involvement in L-Ara4N modification of lipid A, may be subunits of an undecaprenyl phosphate-alpha-L-Ara4N flippase. << Less
