Abstract

IMP-type enzymes constitute a clinically important family of metallo-β-lactamases that has grown dramatically in the past decade to its current 45 known members. Here, we report the biochemical characterization of IMP-30 in comparison to IMP-1, from which it deviates by a single E59K mutation. Kinetics, MIC assays, docking, and molecular dynamics simulations support a scenario in which Lys59 interacts with the ceftazidime R1 group, resulting in increased water access and enhanced turnover and MIC of ceftazidime.

Additional Information

Explanation of amino acid numbering: Mutant E23K of IMP-1 is a wild-type enzyme called IMP-30. According to the standard numbering scheme (PMID 15215079) its mutation is E59K. ND indicates not detectable (used for kinetic constants with aztreonam).
