OXa-48 beta-lactamase mutant - S70G
Structural highlights
FunctionBLO48_KLEPN Class D beta-lactamase which confers resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics, including amoxicillin, and moderate resistance to cephalosporins and carbapenems such as cephalothin and imipenem; in the DH10B strain of E.coli (PubMed:14693513). Acts via hydrolysis of the beta-lactam ring (PubMed:14693513, PubMed:19477418, PubMed:27073009, PubMed:38161376). Has oxacillin-, cephalothin- and imipenem-hydrolyzing activities (PubMed:14693513, PubMed:19477418, PubMed:27073009, PubMed:38161376).[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedSerine beta-lactamases are bacterial enzymes that hydrolyze beta-lactam antibiotics. They utilize an active-site serine residue as a nucleophile, forming an acyl-enzyme intermediate during hydrolysis. In this study, thermal denaturation experiments as well as X-ray crystallography were performed to test the effect of substitution of the catalytic serine with glycine on protein stability in serine beta-lactamases. Six different enzymes comprising representatives from each of the three classes of serine beta-lactamases were examined, including TEM-1, CTX-M-14, and KPC-2 of class A, P99 of class C, and OXA-48 and OXA-163 of class D. For each enzyme, the wild type and a serine-to-glycine mutant were evaluated for stability. The glycine mutants all exhibited enhanced thermostability compared to that of the wild type. In contrast, alanine substitutions of the catalytic serine in TEM-1, OXA-48, and OXA-163 did not alter stability, suggesting removal of the Cbeta atom is key to the stability increase associated with the glycine mutants. The X-ray crystal structures of P99 S64G, OXA-48 S70G and S70A, and OXA-163 S70G suggest that removal of the side chain of the catalytic serine releases steric strain to improve enzyme stability. Additionally, analysis of the torsion angles at the nucleophile position indicates that the glycine mutants exhibit improved distance and angular parameters of the intrahelical hydrogen bond network compared to those of the wild-type enzymes, which is also consistent with increased stability. The increased stability of the mutants indicates that the enzyme pays a price in stability for the presence of a side chain at the catalytic serine position but that the cost is necessary in that removal of the serine drastically impairs function. These findings support the stability-function hypothesis, which states that active-site residues are optimized for substrate binding and catalysis but that the requirements for catalysis are often not consistent with the requirements for optimal stability.
