== 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.

=='''Mechanism of Antibiotic Beta Lactam Ring Resistance'''==
Bacteria such as ''E. coli'' make and excrete an enzyme called beta lactamase <ref>DOI: 10.1080/10409230701279118</ref>. Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics that contain lactam rings when the B-lactamase enzyme attacks the beta lactam ring (classified as a hydrolase). Once the beta lactam ring is sliced open, it is no longer functional <ref> DOI 10.2210/pdb3ZWF/pdb </ref>.
=='''Beta Lactamase in Humans (PDB: 3ZWF)'''==
 
In order to make mature tRNAs, first they have to be processed <ref>https://doi.org/10.1101/575373</ref>. The enzyme that does tRNA processing is called TRNase Z. In humans, the form of beta lactamase formed uses a zinc-dependent mechanism, noted as metallo-beta lactamase <ref>DOI: 10.1080/10409230701279118</ref>. These enzymes in humans function to regulate nuclear activity, providing exo and endonuclease activity.

=='''Disease'''==
If there are mutations in the tRNase Z metallo-beta lactamases, these enzymes have been implicated in several diseases including prostate cancer <ref>DOI: 10.1080/10409230701279118</ref>. 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 <ref>https://doi.org/10.1101/575373</ref>.
 
 
== '''Evolutionary Considerations''' ==
 
Beta Lactamase protein structure is highly conserved across both prokaryotes and eukaryotes <ref>doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/819797</ref>. Their presence indicates that these proteins are highly adaptable, with a wide range of substrates <ref>https://doi.org/10.1101/575373</ref>. The highly conserved nature of this structure suggests that the genetic material for beta lactamase is ancient in origin <ref>https://doi.org/10.1101/575373</ref>. They have found early beta lactamases in deep sea sediment, before the first antibiotic was ever encountered.
