Bacillus Cereus 5691h ~-lactamase I: Structure-function Relationship
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various functional groups of I~-lactamase I were modified using appropriate group specific reagents. Modification of five of the ten arginine residues and approximately fifteen of twenty-one lysine residues present in the protein could readily be achieved by reaction with diacetyl trimer and trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid respectively, without any adverse effect on catalytic activity. Reaction with N-bromosuccinimide revealed that two of the three tryptophan residues could be oxidized without impairment of enzymatic activity. Treatment with tetranitromethane resulted in the modification of two of the seven tyrosine residues of the protein with approximately 30 % diminution in activity. Reaction of the enzyme with a water soluble carbodiimide resulted in a rapid inactivation, complete loss of activity being accompanied by the modification of five of the carboxylic functions. Conversion of all the four histidine residues of the enzyme to the corresponding N-carbethoxy derivatives had no effect on the catalytic function. All these observations suggest that chemical modification of the enzyme in the presence of substrate or its analog is essential for the identification and/or localization of functional groups participating in the catalytic mechanism.

Processing of Bacillus cereus 569/H beta-lactamase I in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.
The gene for Bacillus cereus 569/H beta-lactamase I, penPC, has recently been cloned and sequenced (Mézes, P. S. F., Yang, Y. Q., Hussain, M., and Lampen, J. O. (1983) FEBS Lett. 161, 195-200). A typical prokaryotic signal peptide but with no lipoprotein modification site, as present in the Bacillus licheniformis 749/C beta-lactamase, was indicated by the DNA sequence for this secretory protein...
متن کاملInhibition of beta-lactamase II of Bacillus cereus by penamaldic derivatives of penicillins.
The penamaldic derivatives of amoxicillin, ampicillin, and penicillins G and V, stabilized with Zn(2+), were obtained from a methanolic medium. The enzymatic kinetic results show that the these derivatives elicit reversible inhibition of the enzyme metallo-beta-lactamase from Bacillus cereus, with inhibition constant values determined at pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C.
متن کاملbeta-lactamase I from Bacillus cereus. Structure and site-directed mutagenesis.
The sequence of the gene for beta-lactamase I from Bacillus cereus 569/H has been redetermined. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis has been carried out, and the effects of the changes on the ampicillin-resistance of Escherichia coli TG1 expressing the mutant genes have been studied. Lysine-73, close to the active-site serine-70 and a highly-conserved residue, has been converted into arginine....
متن کاملSolution structures of the Bacillus cereus metallo-β-lactamase BcII and its complex with the broad spectrum inhibitor R-thiomandelic acid
Metallo-β-lactamases, enzymes which inactivate β-lactam antibiotics, are of increasing biological and clinical significance as a source of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria. In the present study we describe the high-resolution solution NMR structures of the Bacillus cereus metallo-β-lactamase BcII and of its complex with R-thiomandelic acid, a broad-spectrum inhibitor of metallo-β-la...
