| Abstract: | Buruli ulcer disease is a neglected necrotizing and disabling cutaneous tropical illness caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. Fluoroquinolone (FQ), used in the treatment of this disease, has been known to act by inhibiting the enzymatic activities of DNA gyrase. However, the detailed molecular basis of these characteristics and the FQ resistance mechanisms in M. ulcerans remains unknown. This study investigated the detailed molecular mechanism of M. ulcerans DNA gyrase and the contribution of FQ resistance in vitro using recombinant proteins from the M. ulcerans subsp. shinshuense and Agy99 strains with reduced sensitivity to FQs. The IC50 of FQs against Ala91Val and Asp95Gly mutants of M. ulcerans shinshuense and Agy99 GyrA subunits were 3.7- to 42.0-fold higher than those against wild-type (WT) enzyme. Similarly, the quinolone concentrations required to induce 25% of the maximum DNA cleavage (CC25) was 10- to 210-fold higher than those for the WT enzyme. Furthermore, the interaction between the amino acid residues of the WT/mutant M. ulcerans DNA gyrase and FQ side chains were assessed by molecular docking studies. This was the first elaborative study demonstrating the contribution of mutations in M. ulcerans DNA GyrA subunit to FQ resistance in vitro. |
