- W4387597908 abstract "Staphylococcus aureus spreads its infections through biofilms. This usually happens in the stationary phase of S. aureus growth where it utilizes accumulated acetate as a carbon source via the phosphotrans-acetylase-acetate kinase (Pta-Ack) pathway. In which acetate kinase (ackA) catalyzes the substrate-level phosphorylation, a vital secondary energy-yielding pathway that promotes biofilms formation aids bacterium survival in hostile environments. In this study, we describe the cloning, sequencing, and expression of S. aureus ackA gene. The expression analysis of ackA gene in methicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus (MRSA) correlates with ackA activity and biofilm units. The uniqueness of ackA was analyzed by using in silico methods.Elevated ackA gene expression was observed in MRSA strains, which correlates with increased ackA activity and biofilm units, explaining ackA role in MRSA growth and pathogenicity. The pure recombinant acetate kinase showed a molecular weight of 44 kDa, with enzyme activity of 3.35 ± 0.05 μM/ml/min. The presence of ACKA-1, ACKA-2 sites, one ATP, and five serine/threonine-protein kinase sites in the ackA gene (KC954623.1) indicated that acetyl phosphate production is strongly controlled. The comparative structural analysis of S. aureus ackA with ackA structures of Mycobacterium avium (3P4I) and Salmonella typhimurium (3SLC) exhibited variations as indicated by the RMSD values 1.877 Å and 2.141 Å respectively, explaining why ackA functions are differently placed in bacteria, concurring its involvement in S. aureus pathogenesis.Overall findings of this study highlight the correlation of ackA expression profoundly increases survival capacity through biofilm formation, which is a pathogenic factor in MRSA and plays a pivotal role in infection spreading." @default.
