Mechanism-based inhibitors of class A beta-lactamases, such as sulbactam, undergo a complex series of chemical reactions in the enzyme active site. Formation of a trans-enamine acyl-enzyme via a hydrolysis-prone imine is responsible for transient inhibition of the enzyme. Although the imine to enamine tautomerization is crucial to inhibition of the enzyme, there are no experimental data to suggest how this chemical transformation is catalyzed in the active site. In this report, we show that E166 acts as a general base to promote the imine to enamine tautomerization.
A类β-内酰胺酶的基于机制的抑制剂,如舒巴坦,在酶活性位点会经历一系列复杂的化学反应。通过易于水解的亚胺形成反式烯胺酰基酶负责对酶的瞬时抑制。虽然亚胺到烯胺的互变异构对于酶的抑制至关重要,但尚无实验数据表明这种化学转化在活性位点是如何被催化的。在本报告中,我们表明E166作为一个通用碱促进亚胺到烯胺的互变异构。
