Requires Mg2+. This bacterial enzyme phosphorylates many 4,6-disubstituted aminoglycoside antibiotics that have a hydroxyl group at position 2'', including kanamycin A, kanamycin B, tobramycin, dibekacin, arbekacin, amikacin, gentamicin C, sisomicin and netilmicin. In most, but not all, cases the phosphorylation confers resistance against the antibiotic. Some forms of the enzyme use ATP as a phosphate donor in appreciable amount. The enzyme is often found as a bifunctional enzyme that also catalyses 6'-aminoglycoside N-acetyltransferase activity. The bifunctional enzyme is the most clinically important aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme in Gram-positive bacteria, responsible for high-level resistance in both Enterococci and Staphylococci.

the bifunctional enzyme AAC(6')-APH(2'') enzyme shows acetyltransferase activity and phosphotransferase activity, activity measurement in a sigle assay. GTP is more qualified as a phosphate donor than ATP to cause phosphorylation events of AAC(6')-APH(2'')
cofactor binding structures, conformations of triphosphate group in structures of APH(2'')-Ia with GTP, GDP, and GMPPNP, overview. Two hydrogen bonds are formed between the triphosphate and residues S214 of the Gly loop and Y237. The nucleoside cosubstrates bind in the cleft between the N lobe (residues 180-279) and C lobe (residues 280-479), and two magnesium ions, Mg1 and Mg2, are consistently resolved with coordinating water molecules

enzyme phosphorylates 4,6-disubstituted aminoglycosides with high efficiency. Despite this proficiency, no resistance is conferred to some of these antibiotics by the enzyme in vivo. Phosphorylation of 4,5-disubstituted and atypical aminoglycosides are negligible and these antibiotics are not substrates. Instead, these aminoglycosides tend to stimulate an intrinsic GTPase activity of the enzyme
APH(2'')-Ia is a widely disseminated resistance factor frequently found in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and pathogenic enterococci, where it is constitutively expressed. APH(2'')-Ia confers high-level resistance to gentamicin and related aminoglycosides through phosphorylation of the antibiotic using GTP as phosphate donor
the bacterial enzyme aminoglycoside acetyltransferase(6')-Ie/aminoglycoside phosphotransferase(2'')-Ia possesses an N-terminal acetyltransferase domain and a C-terminal phosphotransferase domain that can act synergistically and detoxify aminoglycoside antibiotics highly efficiently
the open-closed transition in APH(2'')-Ia brings distal regions of the protein into contact. The enzyme also exhibits a novel phenomenon: a switch between two welldefined triphosphate conformations. Interactions between the helical subdomain and N lobe loops connect enzyme closure to triphosphate activation. APH(2'')-Ia open-closed transition links aminoglycoside binding to catalysis through the Gly loop. In the stabilized conformation, the enzyme does not form most of the interactions that are required for catalysis in kinases. The gamma-phosphate does not coordinate between the two catalytic magnesium ions. There is no catalytic base in position to activate the incoming nucleophile, and no positively charged residue in place to stabilize the leaving group. To hydrogen bonds are formed between the triphosphate and residues S214 of the Gly oop and Y237. Aminoglycoside molecules bind in the cleft between the core (residues 280-322 and 366-432) and helical (residues 322-365 and 433-479) subdomains of the C lobe, the nucleoside cosubstrates bind in the cleft between the N lobe (residues 180-279) and C lobe (residues 280-479), and two magnesium ions, Mg1 and Mg2, are consistently resolved with coordinating water molecules. Aminoglycosides bind to APH(2'')-Ia via conserved rings, while variable rings Dictate reactivity

purified recombinant wild-type and mutant enzymes in complex with cofactor GTP, GDP, and especially GMPPNP, and substrates gentamycin C1, rbiostamycin, kanamycin A, neomycin B in diffenrent combinations, X-ray diffraction structure determination and analysis at 2.15-2.50 A resolution
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant removes the other hydrogen bond between the phosphate and the protein, and a greatly reduced electron density for the gamma-phosphate is observed
in combination with selection for resistance to the aminoglycoside tobramycin, the aac(6')-Ie/aph(2'')-Ia gene represents an efficient marker for plastid transformation in that it produces similar numbers of transplastomic lines as the spectinomycin resistance gene aadA. No spontaneous antibiotic resistance mutants appear under tobramycin selection
