Abstract | The activity of class D β-lactamases is dependent on Lys70 carboxylation in the active site. Structural, kinetic and affinity studies show that this post-translational modification can be affected by the presence of a poor substrate such as moxalactam but also by the V117T substitution. Val117 is a strictly conserved hydrophobic residue located in the active site. In addition, inhibition of class D β-lactamases by chloride ions is due to a competition between the side chain carboxylate of the modified Lys70 and chloride ions. Determination of the individual kinetic constants shows that the deacylation of the acyl-enzyme is the rate-limiting step for the wild-type OXA-10 β-lactamase. |
