- W4387492876 abstract "Macrolides are empirically used to treat bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Streptococcus pneumoniae, being the major pathogen responsible for bacterial CAP with high mortality rates, express MefA-MsrD efflux pumps to hinder macrolide susceptibility. Despite its importance, the structural features of the efflux-protein complex and its impact on macrolide susceptibility have not yet been elucidated explicitly. Therefore, in the present study, combining homology, threading, and dynamics approaches, MefA and MsrD proteins in pathogenic S. pneumoniae were modeled. Both membrane (lipid-bilayer) and cytoplasmic (aqueous) environments were considered to simulate the MefA and MsrD proteins in their ideal cellular conditions followed by dynamics analyses. The simulated MefA structure represented a typical major facilitator superfamily protein structure with 13 transmembrane helices. MefA-MsrD interaction via clustering-based docking revealed low-energy conformers with stable intermolecular interactions. The higher clinical MIC value of azithromycin over erythromycin was reflected upon erythromycin eliciting stronger interactions (dissociation constant or ki = ∼52 μM) with the cytoplasmic ATP-binding MsrD than azithromycin (ki = ∼112 μM). The strong (binding energy = −132.1 ± 9.5 kcal/mol) and highly stable (root-mean-square fluctuation < 1.0 Å) physical association between MefA with MsrD was validated and was found to be unaffected by the antibiotic binding. Higher propensity of the macrolides to interact with MsrD than MefA established the importance of the former in macrolide susceptibility. Ours is probably the first report on the structural arrangements in the MefA-MsrD efflux complex and the macrolide susceptibility in S. pneumoniae. This study provides a novel lead for experimental explorations and efflux-pump inhibitor designs." @default.
