K234R: apo structure of inhibitor resistant beta-lactamase
Structural highlights
FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedInhibitor resistant (IR) class A beta-lactamases pose a significant threat to many current antibiotic combinations. The K234R substitution in the SHV beta-lactamase, from Klebsiella pneumoniae , results in resistance to ampicillin/clavulanate. After site-saturation mutagenesis of Lys-234 in SHV, microbiological and biochemical characterization of the resulting beta-lactamases revealed that only -Arg conferred resistance to ampicillin/clavulanate. X-ray crystallography revealed two conformations of Arg-234 and Ser-130 in SHV K234R. The movement of Ser-130 is the principal cause of the observed clavulanate resistance. A panel of boronic acid inhibitors was designed and tested against SHV-1 and SHV K234R. A chiral ampicillin analogue was discovered to have a 2.4 +/- 0.2 nM K(i) for SHV K234R; the chiral ampicillin analogue formed a more complex hydrogen-bonding network in SHV K234R vs SHV-1. Consideration of the spatial position of Ser-130 and Lys-234 and this hydrogen-bonding network will be important in the design of novel antibiotics targeting IR beta-lactamases. Design and exploration of novel boronic acid inhibitors reveals important interactions with a clavulanic acid-resistant sulfhydryl-variable (SHV) beta-lactamase.,Winkler ML, Rodkey EA, Taracila MA, Drawz SM, Bethel CR, Papp-Wallace KM, Smith KM, Xu Y, Dwulit-Smith JR, Romagnoli C, Caselli E, Prati F, van den Akker F, Bonomo RA J Med Chem. 2013 Feb 14;56(3):1084-97. doi: 10.1021/jm301490d.
