Project description:The clinical strain Escherichia coli TO799 was resistant to penicillin-clavulanate combinations and ceftazidime and was not reproducibly detected as an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) according to the standards of the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI; formerly NCCLS) and the national guidelines of the French Society for Microbiology (Comité de l'Antibiogramme de la Société Française de Microbiologie). A novel beta-lactamase, designated TEM-125, was responsible for this phenotype. TEM-125 harbors a complex association of mutations previously described in the ESBL TEM-12 and in the inhibitor-resistant beta-lactamase TEM-39. TEM-125 is the first complex mutant TEM to present hydrolytic activity against ceftazidime (kcat, 3.7 s(-1)) together with a high level of resistance to clavulanate (50% inhibitory concentration, 13.6 microM). The discovery of such an ESBL, which is difficult to detect by the usual ESBL detection methods, confirms the emergence of a complex mutant TEM subgroup and highlights the need to evaluate detection methods so as to avoid possible therapeutic failures.

Project description:The beta-lactamase enzyme provides effective resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics due to substrate recognition controlled by point mutations. Recently, extended-spectrum and inhibitor-resistant mutants have become a global health problem. Here, the functional dynamics that control substrate recognition in TEM beta-lactamase are investigated using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. Comparisons are made between wild-type TEM-1 and TEM-2 and the extended-spectrum mutants TEM-10 and TEM-52, both in apo form and in complex with four different antibiotics (ampicillin, amoxicillin, cefotaxime and ceftazidime). Dynamic allostery is predicted based on a quasi-harmonic normal mode analysis using a perturbation scan. An allosteric mechanism known to inhibit enzymatic function in TEM beta-lactamase is identified, along with other allosteric binding targets. Mechanisms for substrate recognition are elucidated using multivariate comparative analysis of molecular dynamics trajectories to identify changes in dynamics resulting from point mutations and ligand binding, and the conserved dynamics, which are functionally important, are extracted as well. The results suggest that the H10-H11 loop (residues 214-221) is a secondary anchor for larger extended spectrum ligands, while the H9-H10 loop (residues 194-202) is distal from the active site and stabilizes the protein against structural changes. These secondary non-catalytically-active loops offer attractive targets for novel noncompetitive inhibitors of TEM beta-lactamase.

Project description:Immunoaffinity Purifications of Human Argonaute Twelve hours after transfections with mock or with miR-124, we washed each 15-cm plate once with phosphate-buffered saline (usually two plates were used per IP), then added 1 ml of 4 C lysis buffer (150 mM KCl, 25 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.4], 5 mM Na-EDTA [pH 8.0], 0.5% Nonidet P-40, 0.5 mM DTT, 10 ul protease inhibitor cocktail [Pierce Cat# 78437], 100 U/ml SUPERaseIn [Ambion Cat# AM2694]). Following a 30-min incubation at 4 C, we scraped the plates, combined the lysates, and then spun them at 4 C for 30 min at 14,000 RPM in a microcentrifuge. We collected the supernatant and filtered it through a 0.45-um syringe filter. We froze an aliquot of lysate in liquid nitrogen for reference RNA isolation. We then added 0.22 mg/ml heparin to the lysate. We mixed the lysate with 2.5 mg of Dynal m-280 streptavidin beads (250 ul from original storage solution) coupled to biotinylated 4F9 ago antibody (~12.5 ug), which we equilibrated immediately prior to use by washing twice with 1 ml of lysis buffer. We incubated the beads with the lysate for 2 h at 4 C and then washed the beads twice with 1.25 ml of ice-cold lysis buffer for 5-min each. Five percent of the beads were frozen for SDS PAGE analysis after the second wash. RNA was extracted directly from the remaining beads using lysis buffer from Invitrogen's Micro-to-Midi kit (Invitrogen Cat# 12183-018). We purified RNA from the lysate and RNA extracted from the beads with the Micro-to-Midi kit as per vender's instructions, except that the percentage isopropanol used for binding to the column was 70%, instead of 33%, to promote the binding of small RNAs. RNA was amplified with ambion kit 1755. RNA from total cell lysate was labeled with cy3 and IPd RNA was labeled with cy5

Project description:Enterobacter aerogenes clinical isolate LOR was resistant to penicillins and ceftazidime but susceptible to cefuroxime, cephalothin, cefoxitin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, and cefepime. PCR and cloning experiments from this strain identified a novel TEM-type beta-lactamase (TEM-121) differing by five amino acid substitutions from beta-lactamase TEM-2 (Glu104Lys, Arg164Ser, Ala237Thr, Glu240Lys, and Arg244Ser) and by only one amino acid change from the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) TEM-24 (Arg244Ser), with the last substitution also being identified in the inhibitor-resistant beta-lactamase IRT-2. Kinetic parameters indicated that TEM-121 hydrolyzed ceftazidime and aztreonam (like TEM-24) and was inhibited weakly by clavulanic acid and strongly by tazobactam. Thus, TEM-121 is a novel complex mutant TEM beta-lactamase (CMT-4) combining the kinetic properties of an ESBL and an inhibitor-resistant TEM enzyme.

Project description:A new natural TEM derivative with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase activity, TEM-134, was identified in a ceftazidime-resistant clinical isolate of Citrobacter koseri. Compared to TEM-1, TEM-134 contains the following mutations: Q39K, E104K, R164H, and G238S. The bla(TEM-134) gene was not transferable by conjugation and, apparently, was chromosomally encoded. Expression studies with Escherichia coli revealed efficient cefotaximase and ceftazidimase activity for TEM-134.

Project description:Monospecific (affinity-purified) anti-(yeast glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) IgG inhibits three different NADPH-requiring enzymes, chicken liver dihydrofolate reductase, pigeon liver fatty acid synthetase and chicken liver malic enzyme. The inhibition of all three enzymes was approx. 50% in a 2h incubation with 100 micrograms of IgG. Similarly, with several different NADH-requiring enzymes, an immunocrossreactivity was observed. Monospecific anti-(rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) IgG inhibited yeast alcohol dehydrogenase and pig heart malate dehydrogenase by 39% and 55% respectively. The cross-reactivity observed was tested by affinity chromatography. Immunoaffinity columns made with each monospecific IgG were able to bind each of the enzymes it immunotitrated. Enzymes were eluted with a nondenaturing solvent with little loss of activity. The immunoaffinity column with monospecific anti-(glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) IgG as the bound ligand was also used to purify partially (over 150-fold) both isocitrate dehydrogenase and dihydrofolate reductase from crude rat liver homogenate.

Project description:Kingella kingae is a human pathogen that causes pediatric osteoarticular infections and infective endocarditis in children and adults. The bacterium is usually susceptible to β-lactam antibiotics, although β-lactam resistance has been reported in rare isolates. This study was conducted to identify β-lactam-resistant strains and to characterize the resistance mechanism. Screening of a set of 90 K. kingae clinical isolates obtained from different geographic locations revealed high-level resistance to penicillins among 25% of the strains isolated from Minnesota and Iceland. These strains produced TEM-1 β-lactamase and were shown to contain additional ≥50-kb plasmids. Ion Torrent sequencing of extrachromosomal DNA from a β-lactamase-producing strain confirmed the plasmid location of the blaTEM gene. An identical plasmid pattern was demonstrated by multiplex PCR in all β-lactamase producers. The porin gene's fragments were analyzed to investigate the relatedness of bacterial strains. Phylogenetic analysis revealed 27 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the por gene fragment, resulting in two major clusters with 11 allele types forming bacterial-strain subclusters. β-Lactamase producers were grouped together based on por genotyping. Our results suggest that the β-lactamase-producing strains likely originate from a single plasmid-bearing K. kingae isolate that traveled from Europe to the United States, or vice versa. This study highlights the prevalence of penicillin resistance among K. kingae strains in some regions and emphasizes the importance of surveillance for antibiotic resistance of the pathogen.
