STRUCTURE OF THE E. CLOACAE GC1 BETA-LACTAMASE WITH A CEPHALOSPORIN SULFONE INHIBITOR
Overview
The crystallographic structure of the Enterobacter cloacae GC1, extended-spectrum class C beta-lactamase, inhibited by a new, 7-alkylidenecephalosporin sulfone, has been determined by X-ray, diffraction at 100 K to a resolution of 1.6 A. The crystal structure was, solved by molecular replacement using the unliganded structure [Crichlow, et al. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 10256-10261] and refined to a, crystallographic R-factor equal to 0.183 (R(free) 0.208). Cryoquenching of, the reaction of the sulfone with the enzyme produced an intermediate that, is covalently bound via Ser64. After acylation of the beta-lactam ring, the dihydrothiazine dioxide ring opened with departure of the sulfinate., Nucleophilic attack of a side chain pyridine nitrogen atom on the C6 atom, of the resultant imine yielded a bicyclic aromatic system which helps to, stabilize the acyl enzyme to hydrolysis. A structural assist to this, resonance stabilization is the positioning of the anionic sulfinate group, between the probable catalytic base (Tyr150) and the acyl ester bond so as, to block the approach of a potentially deacylating water molecule., Comparison of the liganded and unliganded protein structures showed that a, major movement (up to 7 A) and refolding of part of the Omega-loop, (215-224) accompanies the binding of the inhibitor. This conformational, flexibility in the Omega-loop may form the basis of an extended-spectrum, activity of class C beta-lactamases against modern cephalosporins.
