AN ENGINEERED STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS PC1 BETA-LACTAMASE THAT HYDROLYSES THIRD GENERATION CEPHALOSPORINS
Overview
The beta-lactamase from Staphylococcus aureus PC1 has been cloned into an, Escherichia coli vector for site-directed mutagenesis and high-level, protein expression. A mutant enzyme has been produced in which Ala238 is, replaced by a serine, and Ile239 is deleted (A238S:I239del). The, engineered enzyme hydrolyses third-generation cephalosporins substantially, more rapidly than the parental enzyme does, while hydrolysis of, benzylpenicillin is slower with the mutant than with the wild-type and, native enzymes. The mutant beta-lactamase has been crystallized and the, structure determined and refined at 2.8 A resolution. The disposition of, the beta-strand which forms the side of the active site is altered in, comparison with the native S. aureus beta-lactamase structure, widening, the active site cleft and providing space to accommodate the bulky, side-chains of the third-generation cephalosporins.
