TLDR
High-resolution X-ray crystal structures of the dapE from Haemophilus influenzae with one and two zinc ions bound in the active site, respectively are reported and a revised catalytic mechanism of peptide bond cleavage by DapE enzymes is proposed.

Structure of apo- and monometalated forms of NDM-1--a highly potent carbapenem-hydrolyzing metallo-β-lactamase.

TL;DR: The crystal structures of metal-free apo- and monozinc forms of NDM-1 presented here revealed an enlarged and flexible active site of class B1 metallo-β-lactamase, capable of accommodating many β- lactam substrates by having many of the catalytic residues on flexible loops, which explains the observed extended spectrum activity of this zinc dependent β-l lactamase.

Lysine biosynthesis in bacteria: a metallodesuccinylase as a potential antimicrobial target

TL;DR: In this review, the recent literature on dapE-encoded N-succinyl-l,l-diaminopimelic acid desuccinylase (DapE) enzymes is summarized, with an emphasis on structure–function studies that provide insight into the catalytic mechanism.

Structure-guided, single-point modifications in the phosphinic dipeptide structure yield highly potent and selective inhibitors of neutral aminopeptidases.

TL;DR: Seven crystal structures of alanyl aminopeptidase from Neisseria meningitides complexed with organophosphorus compounds were resolved to determine the optimal inhibitor–enzyme interactions, and novel contacts, which were promising for inhibitor development, were identified.

Bifidobacterial biofilm formation is a multifactorial adaptive phenomenon in response to bile exposure.

TL;DR: It is proposed that bifidobacterial biofilm formation is an adaptive response to high concentrations of bile in order to avoid bactericidal effects of high bile concentrations in the gastrointestinal environment.

Zinc-selective inhibition of the promiscuous bacterial amide-hydrolase DapE: implications of metal heterogeneity for evolution and antibiotic drug design.

TL;DR: It is shown that L-captopril targets only the Zn( 2+)-metallo-isoform of the enzyme, whereas the Mn(2+)-enzyme, which is also a physiologically relevant isoform in bacteria, is not inhibited.

Refinement of macromolecular structures by the maximum-likelihood method.

TL;DR: The likelihood function for macromolecular structures is extended to include prior phase information and experimental standard uncertainties and the results derived are consistently better than those obtained from least-squares refinement.
