X-ray Crystal Structure of AmpC WT beta-Lactamase in Complex with Covalently Bound Cephalothin
Overview
Beta-lactamases hydrolyze beta-lactam antibiotics and are the leading, cause of bacterial resistance to these drugs. Although beta-lactamases, have been extensively studied, structures of the substrate-enzyme and, product-enzyme complexes have proven elusive. Here, the structure of a, mutant AmpC in complex with the beta-lactam cephalothin in its substrate, and product forms was determined by X-ray crystallography to 1.53 A, resolution. The acyl-enzyme intermediate between AmpC and cephalothin was, determined to 2.06 A resolution. The ligand undergoes a dramatic, conformational change as the reaction progresses, with the characteristic, six-membered dihydrothiazine ring of cephalothin rotating by 109 degrees., These structures correspond to all three intermediates along the reaction, path and provide insight into substrate recognition, catalysis, and, product expulsion.
