ENZYME entry: EC 2.7.1.190

Accepted Name
aminoglycoside 2''-phosphotransferase.
Alternative Name(s)
aminoglycoside (2'') kinase.
APH(2'').
gentamicin kinase.
gentamicin phosphotransferase.
Reaction catalysed
a gentamycin + GTP <=> a gentamycin 2''-phosphate + GDP + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • 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 catalyzes 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.
