Descripción

Descripción general

β-Lactamase produced by bacteria is closely related to the penicillin binding proteins. β-Lactamase hydrolyzes β-lactum antibiotics and is the prime cause of resistance development by bacteria. There are four subclasses of β-Lactamases. Classes A, C and D form an acyl-enzyme via active site serine residue. Class B β-lactamases are metalloenzymes with zinc ion at their active site for β-lactam hydrolysis. Mutations in the β-lactamases has resulted in the generation of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). As close to 900 types of β-Lactamases are produced by microbes.

Aplicación

β--lactamase is used to inactivate β-lactam antibiotics by breaking open the β-lactam ring. β--lactamase is used to study antibiotic resistance and resistance suppression. Product L6170 is recombinantly produced based on the sequence of the enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and is expressed in E. coli.

β-Lactamase has been used in coumarin-cephalosporin-fluorescein-acetoxymethyl (CCF4)- β-Lactamase assay in dendritic cells and in the hydrolysis of meropenem (H-Mer) to generate 18O-labeled H-Mer.
