[NMR paper] Different Conformations Revealed by NMR Underlie Resistance to Ceftazidime/Avibactam and Susceptibility to Meropenem and Imipenem among D179Y Variants of KPC beta-Lactamase
Different Conformations Revealed by NMR Underlie Resistance to Ceftazidime/Avibactam and Susceptibility to Meropenem and Imipenem among D179Y Variants of KPC beta-Lactamase
?-Lactamase-mediated resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) is a serious limitation in the treatment of Gram-negative bacteria harboring Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC). Herein, the basis of susceptibility to carbapenems and resistance to ceftazidime (CAZ) and CZA of the D179Y variant of KPC-2 and -3 was explored. First, we determined that resistance to CZA in a laboratory strain of Escherichia coli DH10B was not due to increased expression levels of the variant enzymes, as...
[NMR paper] Biphasic activation of beta-arrestin 1 upon interaction with a GPCR revealed by methyl-TROSY NMR
Biphasic activation of beta-arrestin 1 upon interaction with a GPCR revealed by methyl-TROSY NMR
?-arrestins (?arrs) play multifaceted roles in the function of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). ?arrs typically interact with phosphorylated C-terminal tail (C tail) and transmembrane core (TM core) of GPCRs. However, the effects of the C tail- and TM core-mediated interactions on the conformational activation of ?arrs have remained elusive. Here, we show the conformational changes for ?arr activation upon the C tail- and TM core-mediated interactions with a prototypical GPCR by nuclear......

Toho-1 β-lactamase: backbone chemical shift assignments and changes in dynamics upon binding with avibactam
Toho-1 β-lactamase: backbone chemical shift assignments and changes in dynamics upon binding with avibactam
Abstract
Backbone chemical shift assignments for the Toho-1 β-lactamase (263 amino acids, 28.9Â*kDa) are reported based on triple resonance solution-state NMR experiments performed on a uniformly 2H,13C,15N-labeled sample. These assignments allow for subsequent site-specific characterization at the chemical, structural, and dynamical levels. At the chemical level, titration with the non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor avibactam is found to...

Abstract
The emerging of the New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1) has become one of the greatest threats to the clinical treatment. Although the structure of NDM-1 has been determined by X-ray crystallography, the molecular mechanism and process of catalysis reaction remain elusive. NMR spectroscopy plays...
