Standard Numbering Scheme for Class B β-Lactamases

TL;DR: This work proposes a scheme developed through a collaborative approach that preserves traditional numbering of catalytically important residues, is adaptable to new variants or enzymes yet to be discovered and includes a variation for genetic and epidemiological applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

The 3-D structure of a zinc metallo-beta-lactamase from Bacillus cereus reveals a new type of protein fold.

TL;DR: The 3‐D structure of Bacillus cereus (569/H/9) beta‐lactamase (EC 3.5.6) has been solved and an approximate internal molecular symmetry is found, with a 2‐fold axis passing roughly through the zinc ion and suggesting a possible gene duplication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Penicillin Binding Proteins: key players in bacterial cell cycle and drug resistance processes

TL;DR: Structural, functional and biological features of penicillin-binding proteins, albeit having initially been identified several decades ago, are now being aggressively pursued as highly attractive targets for the development of novel antibiotherapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The active-site-serine penicillin-recognizing enzymes as members of the Streptomyces R61 DD-peptidase family.

TL;DR: Though the evolutionary distance may vary considerably, all these penicillin-interactive proteins and domains appear to be members of a single superfamily of active-site-serine enzymes distinct from the classical trypsin or subtilisin families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Update of the Standard Numbering Scheme for Class B β-Lactamases

TL;DR: In this article, a standard numbering scheme (BBLN) was proposed to align β-lactamases with known X-ray structures and two ranking scores were calculated: sequence identities of aligned residues and the structural diversity.
