Like all known class D carbapenemases, OXA-23 cannot hydrolyze the expanded-spectrum cephalosporin, ceftazidime. OXA-146 is an OXA-23 subfamily clinical variant that differs from the parent enzyme by a single alanine (A220) inserted in the loop connecting beta-strands beta5 and beta6. We discovered that this insertion enables OXA-146 to bind and hydrolyze ceftazidime with efficiency comparable to other extended-spectrum class D beta-lactamases. OXA-146 also binds and hydrolyzes aztreonam, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone and ampicillin with higher efficiency than OXA-23, and preserves activity against doripenem. In this study, we report the X-ray crystal structures of both the OXA-23 and OXA-146 enzymes at 1.6 A and 1.2 A resolution. A comparison of the two structures shows that the extra alanine moves a methionine (M221) out of its normal position where it forms a bridge over the top of the active site. This single amino acid insertion also lengthens the beta5-beta6 loop, moving the entire backbone of this region further away from the active site. A model of ceftazidime bound in the active site reveals that these two structural alterations are both likely to relieve steric clashes between the bulky R1 side-chain of ceftazidime and OXA-23. With activity against all four classes of beta-lactam antibiotics, OXA-146 represents an alarming new threat to the treatment of infections caused by Acinetobacter spp. STRUCTURES OF THE CLASS D CARBAPENEMASES OXA-23 AND OXA-146: MECHANISTIC BASIS OF ACTIVITY AGAINST CARBAPENEMS, EXTENDED-SPECTRUM CEPHALOSPORINS AND AZTREONAM.,Kaitany KC, Klinger NV, June CM, Ramey ME, Bonomo RA, Powers RA, Leonard DA Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2013 Jul 22.
