| - | + | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL2_STAA8 RL2_STAA8] One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome. | |

| + | Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial pathogen that presents great health concerns. Treatment requires the use of last-line antibiotics, such as members of the oxazolidinone family, of which linezolid is the first member to see regular use in the clinic. Here, we report a short time scale selection experiment in which strains of MRSA were subjected to linezolid treatment. Clonal isolates which had evolved a linezolid-resistant phenotype were characterized by whole-genome sequencing. Linezolid-resistant mutants were identified which had accumulated mutations in the ribosomal protein uL3. Multiple clones which had two mutations in uL3 exhibited resistance to linezolid, 2-fold higher than the clinical breakpoint. Ribosomes from this strain were isolated and subjected to single-particle cryo-electron microscopic analysis and compared to the ribosomes from the parent strain. We found that the mutations in uL3 lead to a rearrangement of a loop that makes contact with Helix 90, propagating a structural change over 15 A away. This distal change swings nucleotide U2504 into the binding site of the antibiotic, causing linezolid resistance. IMPORTANCE Antibiotic resistance poses a critical problem to human health and decreases the utility of these lifesaving drugs. Of particular concern is the "superbug" methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), for which treatment of infection requires the use of last-line antibiotics, including linezolid. In this paper, we characterize the atomic rearrangements which the ribosome, the target of linezolid, undergoes during its evolutionary journey toward becoming drug resistant. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we describe a particular molecular mechanism which MRSA uses to become resistant to linezolid. | ||
