The human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the main causative agents of respiratory tract infections. At present, clinical isolates of S. pneumoniae often exhibit decreased susceptibility toward beta-lactams, a phenomenon linked to multiple mutations within the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). PBP2x, one of the six PBPs of S. pneumoniae, is the first target to be modified under antibiotic pressure. By comparing 89 S. pneumoniae PBP2x sequences from clinical and public data bases, we have identified one major group of sequences from drug-sensitive strains as well as two distinct groups from drug-resistant strains. The first group includes proteins that display high similarity to PBP2x from the well characterized resistant strain Sp328. The second group includes sequences in which a signature mutation, Q552E, is found adjacent to the third catalytic motif. In this work, a PBP2x from a representative strain from the latter group (S. pneumoniae 5259) was biochemically and structurally characterized. Phenotypical analyses of transformed pneumococci show that the Q552E substitution is responsible for most of the reduction of strain susceptibility toward beta-lactams. The crystal structure of 5259-PBP2x reveals a change in polarity and charge distribution around the active site cavity, as well as rearrangement of strand beta3, emulating structural changes observed for other PBPs that confer drug resistance to Gram-positive pathogens. Interestingly, the active site of 5259-PBP2x is in closed conformation, whereas that of Sp328-PBP2x is open. Consequently, S. pneumoniae has evolved to employ the same protein in two distinct mechanisms of antibiotic resistance.
