MBLs belong to three different subgroups; B1, B2, and B3; with the mobile MBLs largely confined to subgroup B1. The B3 MBLs are a divergent subgroup of predominantly chromosomally encoded enzymes. AIM-1 (Adelaide IMipenmase) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the first B3 MBL to be identified on a readily mobile genetic element. Here we present the crystal structure of AIM-1, and use in silico docking and quantum and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations, together with site-directed mutagenesis, to investigate its interaction with beta-lactams. AIM-1 adopts the characteristic alphabeta/betaalpha sandwich fold of MBLs, but differs from other B3 enzymes in the conformation of an active site loop (residues 156-162) which is involved both in disulfide bond formation and, we suggest, interaction with substrates. The structure, together with docking and QM/MM calculations, indicates that the AIM-1 substrate binding site is narrower and more restricted than those of other B3 MBLs, possibly explaining its higher catalytic efficiency. The location of Gln157 adjacent to the AIM-1 zinc center suggests a role in drug binding that is supported by our in silico studies, However, replacement of this residue by either Asn or Ala resulted in only modest reductions in AIM-1 activity against the majority of beta-lactam substrates, indicating that this function is non-essential. Our study reveals AIM-1 to be a subclass B3 MBL with novel structural and mechanistic features.
