FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedMetallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) threaten the effectiveness of beta-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems, and are a concern for global public health. beta-Lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations active against class A and class D carbapenemases are used, but no clinically useful MBL inhibitor is currently available. Tripoli metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (TMB-1) and TMB-2 are members of MBL subclass B1a, where TMB-2 is an S228P variant of TMB-1. The role of S228P was studied by comparisons of TMB-1 and TMB-2, and E119 was investigated through the construction of site-directed mutants of TMB-1, E119Q, E119S, and E119A (E119Q/S/A). All TMB variants were characterized through enzyme kinetic studies. Thermostability and crystallization analyses of TMB-1 were performed. Thiol-based inhibitors were investigated by determining the 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) and binding using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for analysis of TMB-1. Thermostability measurements found TMB-1 to be stabilized by high NaCl concentrations. Steady-state enzyme kinetics analyses found substitutions of E119, in particular, substitutions associated with the penicillins, to affect hydrolysis to some extent. TMB-2 with S228P showed slightly reduced catalytic efficiency compared to TMB-1. The IC50 levels of the new thiol-based inhibitors were 0.66 muM (inhibitor 2a) and 0.62 muM (inhibitor 2b), and the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD ) of inhibitor 2a was 1.6 muM; thus, both were more potent inhibitors than l-captopril (IC50 = 47 muM; KD = 25 muM). The crystal structure of TMB-1 was resolved to 1.75 A. Modeling of inhibitor 2b in the TMB-1 active site suggested that the presence of the W64 residue results in T-shaped pi-pi stacking and R224 cation-pi interactions with the phenyl ring of the inhibitor. In sum, the results suggest that residues 119 and 228 affect the catalytic efficiency of TMB-1 and that inhibitors 2a and 2b are more potent inhibitors for TMB-1 than l-captopril.
