I420N | naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that does not alter daptomycin resistance and the lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesizing activity | Staphylococcus aureus |
L826F | naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that does not alter daptomycin resistance and the lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesizing activity | Staphylococcus aureus |
P314L | naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that does not alter daptomycin resistance, but slightly enhances the lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesizing activity | Staphylococcus aureus |
S295L | naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that causes a slight daptomycin resistance and slightly enhances the lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesizing activity | Staphylococcus aureus |
S337L | naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that does not alter daptomycin resistance and the lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesizing activity | Staphylococcus aureus |
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 | Staphylococcus aureus |
V351E | naturally occuring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that causes a strong, clinically relevant daptomycin resistance and slightly reduced lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesizing activity | Staphylococcus aureus |

malfunction | 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 | Staphylococcus aureus |
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 | Staphylococcus aureus |
