Abstract

Acquired VanG-type resistance to vancomycin in Enterococcus faecalis BM4518 arises from inducible synthesis of peptidoglycan precursors ending in D-alanyl-D-serine, to which vancomycin exhibits low binding affinity. VanG, a D-alanine:D-serine ligase, catalyzes the ATP-dependent synthesis of the D-Ala-D-Ser dipeptide, which is incorporated into the peptidoglycan synthesis of VanG-type vancomycin-resistant strains. Here, the purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of VanG in complex with ADP are reported. The crystal belonged to space group P3(1)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 116.1, c = 177.2 A, and contained two molecules in the asymmetric unit. A complete data set has been collected to 2.35 A resolution from a single crystal under cryogenic conditions using synchrotron radiation.
