Publication Abstract from PubMed

Multi-drug resistance among Gram-negative bacteria is a major global public health threat. Metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) target the most widely-used antibiotic class, the beta-lactams, including the most recent-generation carbapenems. Interspecies spread renders these enzymes a serious clinical threat and there are no clinically-available inhibitors. We present crystal structures of IMP-13, a structurally-uncharacterized MBL from Gram-negative Pseudomonas aerugionasa found in clinical outbreaks globally, and characterize the binding using solution NMR-spectroscopy and molecular-dynamics simulations. Crystal structures of apo IMP-13 and bound to four clinically-relevant carbapenem antibiotics (doripenem, ertapenem, imipenem and meropenem) are presented. Active site plasticity and the active-site loop, where a tryptophan residue stabilizes the antibiotic core scaffold, are essential to the substrate-binding mechanism. The conserved carbapenem scaffold plays the most significant role in IMP-13 binding, explaining the broad substrate specificity. The observed plasticity and substrate-locking mechanism provide opportunities for rational drug design of novel metallo-beta-lactamase inhibitors, essential in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
