The role of Ser-235 in the catalytic mechanism of the TEM-1 beta-lactamase has been explored by the study of a mutant enzyme in which Ser-235 has been substituted by alanine (Ala-235 mutant enzyme). A comparative kinetic analysis of both the wild-type and the Ala-235 TEM-1 enzymes revealed little effect of this substitution of residue 235 on the turnover of penicillins but a greater effect on the turnover of cephalosporins. Susceptibility testing of Escherichia coli strains harboring the wild-type TEM-1 beta-lactamase and the Ala-235 mutant enzyme revealed an effect of the mutation similar to that observed in the enzymological studies. The MICs of two representative cephalosporins for the strain containing the mutant enzyme were much lower than those for the isogenic strain bearing the wild-type TEM-1 beta-lactamase. On the other hand, the strain with the mutant enzyme was still highly resistant to penicillins.
通过对一种突变酶(其中Ser-235被丙氨酸取代的Ala-235突变酶)的研究,探索了Ser-235在TEM-1β-内酰胺酶催化机制中的作用。对野生型和Ala-235 TEM-1酶进行的比较动力学分析表明,235位残基的这种取代对青霉素的周转影响不大,但对头孢菌素的周转影响较大。对携带野生型TEM-1β-内酰胺酶和Ala-235突变酶的大肠杆菌菌株进行的药敏试验显示,该突变的影响与酶学研究中观察到的相似。两种代表性头孢菌素对含有突变酶的菌株的最低抑菌浓度远低于携带野生型TEM-1β-内酰胺酶的同基因菌株。另一方面,含有突变酶的菌株对青霉素仍具有高度抗性。
