Structural highlights
Function
[BLAT_ECOLX] TEM-type are the most prevalent beta-lactamases in enterobacteria; they hydrolyze the beta-lactam bond in susceptible beta-lactam antibiotics, thus conferring resistance to penicillins and cephalosporins. TEM-3 and TEM-4 are capable of hydrolyzing cefotaxime and ceftazidime. TEM-5 is capable of hydrolyzing ceftazidime. TEM-6 is capable of hydrolyzing ceftazidime and aztreonam. TEM-8/CAZ-2, TEM-16/CAZ-7 and TEM-24/CAZ-6 are markedly active against ceftazidime. IRT-4 shows resistance to beta-lactamase inhibitors. [BLIP_STRCL] Inhibits a wide variety of beta lactamases.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The structure of the 28 kDa beta-lactamase inhibitor protein-II (BLIP-II) in complex with the TEM-1 beta-lactamase has been determined to 2.3 A resolution. BLIP-II is a secreted protein produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces exfoliatus SMF19 and is able to bind and inhibit TEM-1 with subnanomolar affinity. BLIP-II is a seven-bladed beta-propeller with a unique blade motif consisting of only three antiparallel beta-strands. The overall fold is highly similar to the core structure of the human regulator of chromosome condensation (RCC1). Although BLIP-II does not share the same fold with BLIP, the first beta-lactamase inhibitor protein for which structural data was available, a comparison of the two complexes reveals a number of similarities and provides further insights into key components of the TEM-1-BLIP and TEM-1-BLIP-II interfaces. Our preliminary results from gene knock-out studies and scanning electron microscopy also reveal a critical role of BLIP-II in sporulation.
