ADC-7 in complex with boronic acid transition state inhibitor CR161
Structural highlights
FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedAcinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug resistant pathogen that infects more than 12,000 patients each year in the US. Much of the resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in Acinetobacter spp. is a result of class C beta-lactamases known as Acinetobacter-derived cephalosporinases (ADCs). ADCs are unaffected by clinically used -lactam-based beta-lactamase inhibitors. In this study, five boronic acid transition state analog inhibitors (BATSIs) were evaluated for inhibition of the class C cephalosporinase ADC-7. Our goal was to explore the properties of BATSIs designed to probe the R1 binding site. Ki values ranged from low micromolar to sub-nanomolar, and circular dichroism (CD) demonstrated that each inhibitor stabilizes the beta-lactamase-inhibitor complexes. Additionally, X-ray crystal structures of ADC-7 in complex with five inhibitors were determined (resolutions from 1.80-2.09 A). In the ADC-7/CR192 complex, the BATSI with the lowest Ki (0.45 nM) and greatest DeltaTm (+9 degrees C), a trifluoromethyl substituent interacts with Arg340. Arg340 is unique to ADCs and may play an important role in the inhibition of ADC-7. The ADC-7/BATSI complexes determined in this study shed light into the unique recognition sites in ADC enzymes, and also offer insight into further structure-based optimization of these inhibitors.
