Structure of the UDP-glucosyltransferase GtfB that modifies the heptapeptide aglycone in the biosynthesis of vancomycin group antibiotics.
Mulichak A.M., Losey H.C., Walsh C.T., Garavito R.M.
<h4>Background</h4>Members of the vancomycin group of glycopeptide antibiotics have an oxidatively crosslinked heptapeptide scaffold decorated at the hydroxyl groups of 4-OH-Phegly4 or beta-OH-Tyr6 with mono-(residue 6) or disaccharides (residue 4). The disaccharide in vancomycin itself is L-vanco ... >> More
<h4>Background</h4>Members of the vancomycin group of glycopeptide antibiotics have an oxidatively crosslinked heptapeptide scaffold decorated at the hydroxyl groups of 4-OH-Phegly4 or beta-OH-Tyr6 with mono-(residue 6) or disaccharides (residue 4). The disaccharide in vancomycin itself is L-vancosamine-1,2-glucose, and in chloroeremomycin it is L-4-epi-vancosamine-1,2-glucose. The sugars and their substituents play an important role in efficacy, particularly against vancomycin-resistant pathogenic enterococci.<h4>Results</h4>The glucosyltransferase, GtfB, that transfers the glucose residue from UDP-glucose to the 4-OH-Phegly4 residue of the vancomycin aglycone, initiating the glycosylation pathway in chloroeremomycin maturation, has been crystallized, and its structure has been determined by X-ray analysis at 1.8 A resolution. The enzyme has a two-domain structure, with a deep interdomain cleft identified as the likely site of UDP-glucose binding. A hydrophobic patch on the surface of the N-terminal domain is proposed to be the binding site of the aglycone substrate. Mutagenesis has revealed Asp332 as the best candidate for the general base in the glucosyltransfer reaction.<h4>Conclusions</h4>The structure of GtfB places it in a growing group of glycosyltransferases, including Escherichia coli MurG and a beta-glucosyltransferase from T4 phage, which together form a subclass of the glycosyltransferase superfamily and give insights into the recognition of the NDP-sugar and aglycone cosubstrates. A single major interdomain linker between the N- and C-terminal domains suggests that reprogramming of sugar transfer or aglycone recognition in the antibiotic glycosyltransferases, including the glycopeptide and also the macrolide antibiotics, will be facilitated by this structural information. << Less

The glycopeptides vancomycin and teicoplanin are clinically important antibiotics. The carbohydrate portions of these molecules affect biological activity, and there is great interest in developing efficient strategies to make carbohydrate derivatives. To this end, genes encoding four glycosyltransferases, GtfB, C, D, E, were subcloned from Amycolatopsis orientalis strains that produce chloroeremomycin (GtfB, C) or vancomycin (GtfD, E) into Escherichia coli. After expression and purification, each glycosyltransferase (Gtf) was characterized for activity either with the aglycones (GtfB, E) or the glucosylated derivatives (GtfC, D) of vancomycin and teicoplanin. GtfB efficiently glucosylates vancomycin aglycone using UDP-glucose as the glycosyl donor to form desvancosaminyl-vancomycin (vancomycin pseudoaglycone), with k(cat) of 17 min(-1), but has very low glucosylation activity, < or = 0.3 min(-1), for an alternate substrate, teicoplanin aglycone. In contrast, GtfE is much more efficient at glucosylating both its natural substrate, vancomycin aglycone (k(cat) = 60 min(-1)), and an unnatural substrate, teicoplanin aglycone (k(cat) = 20 min(-1)). To test the addition of the 4-epi-vancosamine moiety by GtfC and GtfD, synthesis of UDP-beta-L-4-epi-vancosamine was undertaken. This NDP-sugar served as a substrate for both GtfC and GtfD in the presence of vancomycin pseudoaglycone (GtfC and GtfD) or the glucosylated teicoplanin scaffold, 7 (GtfD). The GtfC product was the 4-epi-vancosaminyl form of vancomycin. Remarkably, GtfD was able to utilize both an unnatural acceptor, 7, and an unnatural nucleotide sugar donor, UDP-4-epi-vancosamine, to synthesize a novel hybrid teicoplanin/vancomycin glycopeptide. These results establish the enzymatic activity of these four Gtfs, begin to probe substrate specificity, and illustrate how they can be utilized to make variant sugar forms of both the vancomycin and the teicoplanin class of glycopeptide antibiotics. << Less
