X-ray crystal structure of AmpC WT beta-lactamase in complex with covalently bound imipenemX-ray crystal structure of AmpC WT beta-lactamase in complex with covalently bound imipenem
Structural highlights
FunctionAMPC_ECOLI This protein is a serine beta-lactamase with a substrate specificity for cephalosporins. Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedTo determine how imipenem inhibits the class C beta-lactamase AmpC, the X-ray crystal structure of the acyl-enzyme complex was determined to a resolution of 1.80 A. In the complex, the lactam carbonyl oxygen of imipenem has flipped by approximately 180 degrees compared to its expected position; the electrophilic acyl center is thus displaced from the point of hydrolytic attack. This conformation resembles that of imipenem bound to the class A enzyme TEM-1 but is different from that of moxalactam bound to AmpC.
