== Function ==
Beta Lactamase is a highly conserved enzyme in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, it gives bacteria such as ''E.coli'' antibiotic resistance. In eukaryotes, it acts as exo and endonucleases to regulate transcription activity.

=='''Background Information'''==
There are several classes of antibiotics, including cephalosporin and penicillin <ref>doi: 10.1016/j.jmb.2019.04.002</ref>. Some common examples of specific drugs in these classes include cefazolin, cefadroxil, penicillin, ampicillin, and methicillin <ref>doi: 10.1016/j.jmb.2019.04.002</ref>. These antibiotics function by preventing bacteria from forming their cell wall, regardless if the bacteria are gram positive or gram negative <ref>doi: 10.1016/j.jmb.2019.04.002</ref>. These antibiotics all contain a beta-lactam ring <ref>https://doi.org/10.1021/cr030102i</ref>.
Inside of the gram positive or gram negative bacteria, there is a protein called the penicillin binding protein. The penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) are what help the peptidoglycan walls to form by linking NAG and NAM chains together. The beta-lactam ring fits particularly well into the PBP, which is how antibiotics like penicillin prevent bacteria from synthesizing its cell wall.

Disease

If there are mutations in the tRNase Z metallo-beta lactamases, these enzymes have been implicated in several diseases including prostate cancer [1]. While there is still much to learn about how these lactamases work inter-connectedly with other enzymes, research suggests that metallo-beta lactamases function as cleavage and polyadenylation factors [2].


Evolutionary Considerations

Beta Lactamase protein structure is highly conserved across both prokaryotes and eukaryotes [3]. Their presence indicates that these proteins are highly adaptable, with a wide range of substrates [4]. The highly conserved nature of this structure suggests that the genetic material for beta lactamase is ancient in origin [5]. They have found early beta lactamases in deep sea sediment, before the first antibiotic was ever encountered.
