Abstract:?Point mutations are often associated with vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus with unclear molecular mechanism. Here we observed that walK (G223D) mutation caused decreased expression of genes associated with cell wall metabolism, decreased autolytic activity, thickened cell wall, and reduced vancomycin susceptibility. Phosphorylation assay showed that WalK (G223D) exhibited reduced autophosphorylation, which led to reduced phosphorylation of WalR. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay indicated that WalK (G223D)-phosphorylated WalR had a reduced binding capacity to atlA promoter.
