Abstract
The phylogenetic relationships of glycopeptide resistance proteins were investigated. The amino acid sequences of vanA, vanB, vanR and vanS were used as queries to search against bacterial genomes in the NCBI RefSeq database. Hits with >60% amino acid identity and >90% query coverage were aligned, and phylogenetic trees were reconstructed. The ligase gene phylogenies were highly similar for both queries, revealing two major clusters. One contained [[vanA:vanM][vanB:vanD]vanF] and related proteins, with proteins from different Bacillaceae, mostly from Paenibacillus spp., in basal positions to all, except vanB. Ligases from streptomycetes formed the other cluster. The relative positions of vanH and vanX differed from those of the associated ligases, but the basal position of the Paenibacillus spp. and the separation of proteins of Streptomyces origin were similar. The accessory genes vanW, vanY and vanZ were associated with vanB, vanA/vanM and vanA, respectively; the basal branches were always proteins from different Bacillaceae but never from streptomycetes. Multiple homologs of the regulatory genes vanR and vanS were found in the genomes; those associated with the different ligases were unique to the ligases. Similarly to the accessory genes, vanRS from Bacillales and Clostridia, but never from streptomycetes, was found in the basal positions. In conclusion, the core genes vanA/B/D/F/M, vanH and vanX originate most probably from glycopeptide-producing streptomycetes, with Paenibacillus spp. (or other Bacillaceae) mediating the transfer, while the accessory genes and the regulatory apparatus probably originate from these Bacillaceae.
