Binds penicillin (PubMed:20580675).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_02080][1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe effectiveness of beta-lactam antibiotics is increasingly compromised by beta-lactamases. Boron-containing inhibitors are potent serine-beta-lactamase inhibitors, but the interactions of boron-based compounds with the penicillin-binding protein (PBP) beta-lactam targets have not been extensively studied. We used high-throughput X-ray crystallography to explore reactions of a boron-containing fragment set with the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PBP3 (PaPBP3). Multiple crystal structures reveal that boronic acids react with PBPs to give tricovalently linked complexes bonded to Ser294, Ser349, and Lys484 of PaPBP3; benzoxaboroles react with PaPBP3 via reaction with two nucleophilic serines (Ser294 and Ser349) to give dicovalently linked complexes; and vaborbactam reacts to give a monocovalently linked complex. Modifications of the benzoxaborole scaffold resulted in a moderately potent inhibition of PaPBP3, though no antibacterial activity was observed. Overall, the results further evidence the potential for the development of new classes of boron-based antibiotics, which are not compromised by beta-lactamase-driven resistance.
