Abstract:
:A pathogenic bacterium has its own mechanisms for not only pathogenic attack but also exogenous invasion defense, in which the bacterial cell wall is the front line of attack and defense. We developed a biochemical lanthanide-encoding approach to quantify the uncanonical d-amino acid (d-X) that was edited in a small proportion into the terminal acyl-d-Ala-d-X of nascent peptidoglycan UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptides in the bacterial cell wall. This approach overcomes the difficulties regarding quantification and accuracy issues encountered by the popular optical imaging and traditional high-performance liquid chromatography-based methods. Newly synthesized azide-d-Leu and ketone-d-Met were used together with alkynyl-d-Ala for their metabolic assembly and then bioorthogonally encoded by the correspondingly fabricated DBCO-DOTA-Gd, H 2 NO-DOTA-Eu, and azide-DOTA-Sm tags. This approach allows direct quantification of the d-X in situ in the cell wall using 158Gd, 153Eu, and 154Sm species-unspecific isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, avoiding any tedious and complex "cell-broken" pretreatment procedures that might induce racemization of the d-X. The obtained site-specific and accurate in situ information about the d-X enables quantitative monitoring of the bacterial response when Staphylococcus aureus meets vancomycin, showing that the amounts of azide-d-Leu and ketone-d-Met assembled are more important after determining the structure- and composition-dependent bacterial antibiotic resistance mechanisms. In addition, we found that the combined use of vancomycin and d-Ala restores the efficacy of vancomycin and might be a wise and simple way to combat vancomycin intermediate-resistant S. aureus.
