Compared with the other class B multimodular penicillin- binding proteins (PBPs), the low-affinity PBP5 responsible for penicillin resistance in Enterococcus hirae R40, has an extended non-penicillin-binding module because of the presence of an approximately 110-amino-acid E-46(-)D-160 insert downstream from the membrane anchor. Expression of pbp5 genes lacking various parts of the insert-encoding region gives rise to proteins that are inert in terms of penicillin binding, showing that during folding of the PBP, the insert plays a role in the acquisition of a correct penicillin-binding configuration by the G-364(-)Q-678 carboxy-terminal module.
与其他B类多模块青霉素结合蛋白(PBPs)相比,负责平肠球菌R40青霉素抗性的低亲和力PBP5具有一个延伸的非青霉素结合模块,这是因为在膜锚定下游存在一个约110个氨基酸的E-46(-)D-160插入序列。缺乏插入编码区不同部分的pbp5基因的表达产生了在青霉素结合方面无活性的蛋白质,这表明在PBP折叠过程中,该插入序列在G-364(-)Q-678羧基末端模块获得正确的青霉素结合构型中发挥作用。
