SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF AN RRNA METHYLTRANSFERASE (ERMAM) THAT CONFERS MACROLIDE-LINCOSAMIDE-STREPTOGRAMIN ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE, NMR, MINIMIZED AVERAGE STRUCTURE
Overview
The Erm family of methyltransferases is responsible for the development of, resistance to the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin type B (MLS), antibiotics. These enzymes methylate an adenine of 23S ribosomal RNA that, prevents the MLS antibiotics from binding to the ribosome and exhibiting, their antibacterial activity. Here we describe the three-dimensional, structure of an Erm family member, ErmAM, as determined by NMR, spectroscopy. The catalytic domain of ErmAM is structurally similar to, that found in other methyltransferases and consists of a seven-stranded, beta-sheet flanked by alpha-helices and a small two-stranded beta-sheet., In contrast to the catalytic domain, the substrate binding domain is, different from other methyltransferases and adopts a novel fold that, consists of four alpha-helices.
