CEPHALOTHIN COMPLEXED WITH DD-PEPTIDASE
Overview
Two clinically-important beta-lactam antibiotics, cephalothin and, cefotaxime, have been observed by X-ray crystallography bound to the, reactive Ser62 of the D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase/transpeptidase, of Streptomyces sp. R61. Refinement of the two crystal structures produced, R factors for 3 sigma (F) data of 0.166 (to 1.8 A) and 0.170 (to 2.0 A), for the cephalothin and cefotaxime complexes, respectively. In each, complex, a water molecule is within 3.1 and 3.6 A of the acylated, beta-lactam carbonyl carbon atom, but is poorly activated by active site, residues for nucleophilic attack and deacylation. This apparent lack of, good stereochemistry for facile hydrolysis is in accord with the long, half-lives of cephalosporin intermediates in solution (20-40 h) and the, efficacy of these beta-lactams as inhibitors of bacterial cell wall, synthesis. Different hydrogen binding patterns of the two cephalosporins, to Thr301 are consistent with the low cefotaxime affinity of an altered, penicillin-binding protein, PBP-2x, reported in cefotaxime-resistant, strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, and with the ability of mutant class, A beta-lactamases to hydrolyze third-generation cephalosporins.
