according to the presence of IS6110 insertion in the NTF region, the Beijing genotype is currently divided into two subtypes. The ancient subtype is characterized with the intact NTF region, whereas modern subtype strains demonstrate the presentation of IS6110 insertion in the NTF region. The latter subtype strains can also be discriminated by the polymorphisms of mutT genes. Modern subtype is designated to Beijing monophyletic groups 3 (Bj-MG3), whereas ancient subtype is further subdivided into Bj-MG1 and Bj-MG2 based on the RD181 deletion. The strains of modern subtype constitute the majority of Beijing genotype in most regions and demonstrate an increased virulent phenotype

gain-of-function mutations in the phospholipid flippase MprF confer specific daptomycin resistance, although the T345A mutation does not alter lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol (LysPG) synthesis, LysPG translocation, or the Staphylococcus aureus cell surface charge. MprF-mediated DAP-resistance relies on a functional flippase domain and is restricted to daptomycin and a related cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic, friulimicin B. Daptomycin-resistant (DAP-R) Staphylococcus aureus mutants emerge during therapy, featuring isolates which in most cases possess point mutations in the mprF gene. T345A is a naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that can reproducibly cause daptomycin resistance, the mutation leads to weakened intramolecular domain interactions of MprF, suggesting that daptomycin and friulimicin resistance-conferring mutations may alter the substrate range of the MprF flippase to directly translocate these lipopeptide antibiotics or other membrane components with crucial roles in the activity of these antimicrobials

Clinical and epidemiological studies demonstrate that Beijing genotype strains are associated with high levels of bacterial resistance to drugs and enhanced ability to cause disease, contributing to increased transmissibility and rapid progression from infection to active disease.

significance of lysX in the metabolism and virulence of the environmental pathogen Mycobacterium avium hominissuis
metabolism
the enzyme LysX is involved in the lysine biosynthesis pathway. The conversion from alpha-aminoadipate (AAA) to lysine, is accomplished by five enzymes: LysX, LysZ, LysY, LysJ, and LysK, using the amino group carrier protein LysW. The alpha-amino group of AAA is modified with LysW by LysX, forming an isopeptide bond between the alpha-amino group of AAA and gamma-carboxyl group of the glutamate residue at the C terminus of LysW. LysW-gamma-AAA thus synthesized is then transferred to subsequent biosynthetic enzymes to be converted to LysW-gamma-lysine by phosphorylation, reduction, and amination steps. In the final step, LysW-gamma-lysine is recognized by LysK, a carboxypeptidase, resulting in the release of lysine. LysW contains many acidic amino acid residues for electrostatic interactions with each enzyme, and, thus, functions as an amino group carrier protein for efficient lysine biosynthesis

physiological function
-
the mprFgene confers daptomycin resistance
physiological function
-
enzyme MprF is a bifunctional bacterial resistance protein that synthesizes the positively charged lipid lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol (LysPG) and translocates it subsequently from the inner membrane leaflet to the outer membrane leaflet. MprF links lysine to negatively charged phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and translocates the resulting positively charged lysyl-PG (LysPG) to the outer leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane (CM), resulting in electrostatic repulsion of cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs), including human defensins and bacterial lantibiotics
physiological function
in comparison with Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria in general have much less zwitterionic phosphatidylethanolamine. They are known for producing aminoacylated phosphatidylglycerol (PG), especially positively charged L-lysyl-PG, which is catalyzed by lysyl-PG synthase MprF. Enzyme MprF appears to have a broad range of specificity for L-aminoacyl transfer RNAs. Lipids from Bacillus subtilis are extremely abundant in lysyl-PG and somewhat rich in alanyl-PG. It appears that N-succinylation of lipids in Bacillus subtilis strain 168 is specific to lysyl-PG but not alanyl-PG
physiological function
lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol is one of the components of the mycobacterial membrane that contributes to the resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides, a host-induced frontline defense against invading pathogens. Its production is catalyzed by LysX, a bifunctional protein with lysyl transferase and lysyl transfer RNA synthetase activity
physiological function
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has developed mechanisms to avoid antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) activity, for instance lysX adds lysine residues to surface phospholipids changing their net charge, leading to the repelling of the AMPs. In the presence of AMPs, lysX expression increases significantly. Strains with higher lysX expression show increased levels of intracellular survival in vivo and in vitro and induce more severe lesion related with pneumonia. Ability of Mtb to replicate intracellularly is directly correlated to the level of lysX expression showing that the amount of lysX produced by the bacterial cell is an important variable for the modulation of Mtb virulence. Gene expression of AMPs during in vivo infection of BALB/c mice, overview
physiological function
the lysine connection with phosphatidylglycerol (PG) may alter the Mycobacterium tuberculosis surface charge, and consequently decrease the bacterial vulnerability to antimicrobial action of the immune cells. PG lysinylation plays an important role in maintaining an optimal membrane potential for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and promoting the survival of pathogen upon infection

S295L
-
naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that causes a slight daptomycin resistance and slightly enhances the lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesizing activity
S337L
-
naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that does not alter daptomycin resistance and the lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesizing activity
T345A
-
naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that can reproducibly cause strong, clinically relevant daptomycin resistance, the mutation leads to weakened intramolecular domain interactions of MprF, suggesting that daptomycin and friulimicin resistance-conferring mutations may alter the substrate range of the MprF flippase to directly translocate these lipopeptide antibiotics or other membrane components with crucial roles in the activity of these antimicrobials. MprF point mutation T345A causes cross-resistance only to daptomycin and the related lipopeptide antibiotic friulimicin B
V351E
-
naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that causes a strong, clinically relevant daptomycin resistance and slightly reduced lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesizing activity
I701T

naturally occuring mutation in gene lysX, involved in Bejing genotype, the Ile701Thr mutation can affect the protein function
I701T

additional information

genotyping of gene lysX, Beijing and modern Beijing strains are idetified. Mutations at codon 995 (Pro CCG to Pro CCA) and 701 (Ile ATT to Thr ACT) in lysX gene (Rv1640c), are specific markers for Beijing and modern Beijing strains, respectively. Determination of a mutation at codon 809 (CGA to CGG), and a mutation at codon 885 (ATC to ATT). Beijing and modern Beijing strains are observed and used to develop a MAS-PCR method for identifying isolates of these genotypes
