Crystal Structure of the Covalent Adduct Formed between TB B-lactamase and Clavulanate
Overview
The intrinsic resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the beta-lactam class of antibiotics arises from a chromosomally encoded, extended spectrum, class A beta-lactamase, BlaC. Herein, we report the X-ray crystallographic structure of BlaC inhibited with clavulanate at a resolution of 1.7 A with an R-factor value of 0.180 and R-free value of 0.212 for the m/ z +154 clavulanate-derived fragment observed in the active site. Structural evidence reveals the presence of hydrogen bonds to the C1 carbonyl along with a coplanar arrangement of C1, C2, C3, and N4, which favors enolization to generate a trans-alpha,beta-eneamine, stabilizing the +154 adduct from hydrolysis. The irreversible inhibition of BlaC suggests that treatment of M. tuberculosis with a combination of a beta-lactam antibiotic and clavulanate may lead to rapid bactericidal activity.
