Publication Abstract from PubMedKlebsiella oxytoca is a pathogen that causes serious infections in hospital patients. It shows resistance to many clinically used beta-lactam antibiotics by producing chromosomally encoded OXY-family beta-lactamases. Here, the crystal structure of an OXY-family beta-lactamase, OXY-1-1, determined at 1.93 A resolution is reported. The structure shows that the OXY-1-1 beta-lactamase has a typical class A beta-lactamase fold and exhibits greater similarity to CTX-M-type beta-lactamases than to TEM-family or SHV-family beta-lactamases. It is also shown that the enzyme provides more space around the active cavity for the R(1) and R(2) substituents of beta-lactam antibiotics. The half-positive/half-negative distribution of surface electrostatic potential in the substrate-binding pocket indicates the preferred properties of substrates or inhibitors of the enzyme. The results reported here provide a structural basis for the broadened substrate profile of the OXY-family beta-lactamases.
