Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are resistant to most β-lactam antibiotics due to the production of the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC-2) class A β-lactamase. Here, we present the first product complex crystal structures of KPC-2 with β-lactam antibiotics containing hydrolyzed cefotaxime and faropenem. They provide experimental insights into substrate recognition by KPC-2 and its unique cephalosporinase/carbapenemase activity. These structures also represent the first product complexes for a wild-type serine β-lactamase, elucidating the product release mechanism of these enzymes in general.
耐碳青霉烯类肠杆菌科细菌由于产生肺炎克雷伯菌碳青霉烯酶(KPC-2)A类β-内酰胺酶而对大多数β-内酰胺类抗生素耐药。在此,我们展示了KPC-2与含有水解头孢噻肟和法罗培南的β-内酰胺类抗生素的首个产物复合物晶体结构。它们为KPC-2的底物识别及其独特的头孢菌素酶/碳青霉烯酶活性提供了实验见解。这些结构也代表了野生型丝氨酸β-内酰胺酶的首个产物复合物,总体上阐明了这些酶的产物释放机制。
