A new mechanism for β-lactamases: Class D enzymes degrade 1β-methyl carbapenems through lactone formation
- Abstract:
-
β-Lactamases threaten the clinical use of carbapenems, which are considered antibiotics of last resort. The classical mechanism of serine carbapenemase catalysis proceeds through hydrolysis of an acyl-enzyme intermediate. We show that class D β-lactamases also degrade clinically used 1β-methyl-substituted carbapenems through the unprecedented formation of a carbapenem-derived β-lactone. β-Lactone formation results from nucleophilic attack of the carbapenem hydroxyethyl side chain on the ester...
