Mutational Effects on Carbapenem Hydrolysis of YEM-1, a New Subclass B2 Metallo-β-Lactamase from Yersinia mollaretii. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2020; 64:AAC.00105-20.

Abstract
Analysis of the genome sequence of Yersinia mollaretii ATCC 43969 identified the bla YEM gene, encoding YEM-1, a putative subclass B2 metallo-β-lactamase. The objectives of our work were to produce and purify YEM-1 and to complete its kinetic characterization. YEM-1 displayed the narrowest substrate range among known subclass B2 metallo-β-lactamases, since it can hydrolyze imipenem, but not other carbapenems, such as biapenem, meropenem, doripenem, and ertapenem, with high catalytic efficiency. A possible explanation of this activity profile is the presence of tyrosine at residue 67 (loop L1), threonine at residue 156 (loop L2), and serine at residue 236 (loop L3). We showed that replacement of Y67 broadened the activity profile of the enzyme for all carbapenems but still resulted in poor activity toward the other β-lactam classes.

Zhang Y, Bian L. Recognition and interaction of CphA from Aeromonas hydrophila with imipenem and biapenem by spectroscopic analysis in combination with molecular docking. J Mol Recognit 2019; 32:e2781.

Abstract
The molecular recognition and interaction of CphA from Aeromonas hydrophila with imipenem (Imip) and biapenem (Biap) were studied by means of the combined use of fluorescence spectra and molecular docking. The results showed that both the fluorescence quenching of CphA by Imip and Biap were caused through the combined dynamic and static quenching, and the latter was dominating in the process; the microenvironment and conformational of CphA were altered upon the addition of Imip and Biap from synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence. The binding of CphA with Imip or Biap caused a conformational change in the loop of CphA, and through the conformational change, the loop opened the binding pocket of CphA to allow for an induced fit of the newly introduced ligand. In the binding of CphA with Imip, the whole molecule entered into the active pocket of CphA. The binding was driven by enthalpy change, and the binding force between them was mainly hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals force; whereas in the binding of CphA with Biap, only the beta-lactam ring of Biap entered into the binding pocket of CphA while the side chain was located outside the active pocket. The binding was driven by the enthalpy change and entropy change together, and the binding force between them was mainly electrostatic interaction. This study provided an insight into the recognition and binding of CphA with antibiotics, which may be helpful for designing new substrate for beta-lactamase and developing new antibiotics resistant to superbugs.

Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are a significant clinical problem because they hydrolyze and inactivate nearly all β-lactam-containing antibiotics. These 'lifesaving drugs' constitute >50% of the available contemporary antibiotic arsenal. Despite the global spread of MBLs, MBL inhibitors have not yet appeared in clinical trials. Most MBL inhibitors target active site zinc ions and vary in mechanism from ternary complex formation to metal ion stripping. Importantly, differences in mechanism can impact pharmacology in terms of reversibility, target selectivity, and structure-activity relationship interpretation. This review surveys the mechanisms of MBL inhibitors and describes methods that determine the mechanism of inhibition to guide development of future therapeutics.

Abstract
Ion mobility experiments coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI) were conducted to evaluate the folding states of bovine carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2) under three different pH conditions. Collision cross-section (CCS) of the CA2 ions generated by ESI revealed the presence of six discrete conformers in the gas phase under the conditions employed in this study. The CCS of the most extended conformer was three times larger than that of the most compact one. The charge state distribution of the CA2 ions was indicative of three conformers being present. Although there was consistency in conformer assignment conducted by CCS and charge state distribution, the CCS measurement was shown to be more effective because the information obtained provided more detailed knowledge of the conformation of the protein.

Abstract
The effect of solvent conditions, including pH, on product ion spectra obtained from precursor ions produced by electrospray ionization (ESI) was examined. Bovine carbonic anhydrase 2 was used as a model protein and the product ions generated by collision induced dissociation of the whole protein were measured under several different solvent conditions (pH 5.0, 3.7, and 0.1% HCOOH (pH 2.6)/MeCN (1/1)). The product ion spectra from precursor ions with the same charge number, the observed m/z values and the relative intensities of the product ions were similar. It therefore appears that the solvent conditions used have no effect on the product ion that is generated. On the other hand, different profiles of the product ion were obtained from precursor ions having different charge numbers. This indicates that the charge number of the precursor ion appears to be a major determinant of the product ion species and its relative intensity in product ion spectra of proteins.

Abstract
Metalation and demetalation of human metallothionein-2A (MT) with Cd(2+) is investigated by using chemical labeling and "bottom-up" and "top-down" proteomics approaches. Both metalation and demetalation of MT-2A by Cd(2+) are shown to be domain specific and occur as two distinct processes. Metalation involves sequential addition of Cd(2+) to the α-domain resulting in formation of an intermediate, Cd4MT. Chemical labeling with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and tandem mass spectrometry experiments clearly show that the four metal ions are located in the α-domain. In the presence of excess Cd(2+), the Cd4MT intermediate reacts to add Cd(2+) to the β-domain to yield the fully metalated Cd7MT. Demetalation occurs in the reverse order, i.e., Cd(2+) is removed (by EDTA) first from the β-domain followed by Cd(2+) removal from the α-domain. Metalation of human MT-2A is shown to be metal ion specific by comparing relative metal ion binding constants for Cd(2+) and Zn(2+).

Abstract
The subclass B2 CphA (Carbapenemase hydrolysing Aeromonas) beta-lactamase from Aeromonas hydrophila is a Zn(2+)-containing enzyme that specifically hydrolyses carbapenems. In an effort to evaluate residues potentially involved in metal binding and/or catalysis (His(118), Asp(120), His(196) and His(263)) and in substrate specificity (Val(67), Thr(157), Lys(224) and Lys(226)), site-directed mutants of CphA were generated and characterized. Our results confirm that the first zinc ion is in interaction with Asp(120) and His(263), and thus is located in the 'cysteine' zinc-binding site. His(118) and His(196) residues seem to be interacting with the second zinc ion, as their replacement by alanine residues has a negative effect on the affinity for this second metal ion. Val(67) plays a significant role in the binding of biapenem and benzylpenicillin. The properties of a mutant with a five residue (LFKHV) insertion just after Val(67) also reveals the importance of this region for substrate binding. This latter mutant has a higher affinity for the second zinc ion than wild-type CphA. The T157A mutant exhibits a significantly modified activity spectrum. Analysis of the K224Q and N116H/N220G/K224Q mutants suggests a significant role for Lys(224) in the binding of substrate. Lys(226) is not essential for the binding and hydrolysis of substrates. Thus the present paper helps to elucidate the position of the second zinc ion, which was controversial, and to identify residues important for substrate binding.

Abstract
A novel method for proving the time course of the unfolding and refolding processes of metalloprotein bovine carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2) is demonstrated using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS) combined with pH jumps between 3.6 and 4.4. The shift in mass accompanied by the release or coordination of a zinc ion and the change in the charge state distribution were measured to evaluate the folding process. The time course of the ESI mass spectra revealed the existence of four types of ions in the experimental system, i.e., lower charged apo-CA2 and holo-CA2 ions and higher charged apo-CA2 and holo-CA2 ions. The deconvolution spectrum of the ion peak ensemble for each type of ion was processed and time course plots of the relative intensities of the four ions were prepared in order to analyze the folding processes. These analyses revealed the coexistence of two folding states of the lower and higher charged apo-CA2 under the condition of pH 3.6. The lower and higher charged apoproteins spontaneously refolded to the lower charged holoprotein by a pH jump from 3.6 to 4.4 without the addition of an extra zinc ion. The higher charged holoprotein observed during both the unfolding and refolding processes was considered to be an intermediate of the change in folding. The present study indicates that ESI MS combined with pH jump would be a powerful method to probe the unfolding and refolding of proteins. This method simultaneously measures mass spectra and analyzes the folding processes as a function of time using deconvolution spectra constructed by selecting a suitable m/z range for the analysis from the peaks of charge state distributions.

Abstract
In the present report, a method based on chip-based nanoelectrospray mass spectrometry (nanoESI-MS) is described to detect noncovalent ligand binding to the human estrogen receptor alpha ligand-binding domain (hERalpha LBD). This system represents an important environmental interest, because a wide variety of molecules, known as endocrine disruptors, can bind to the estrogen receptor (ER) and induce adverse health effects in wildlife and humans. Using proper experimental conditions, the nanoESI-MS approach allowed for the detection of specific ligand interactions with hERalpha LBD. The relative gas-phase stability of selected hERalpha LBD-ligand complexes did not mirror the binding affinity in solution, a result that demonstrates the prominent role of hydrophobic contacts for stabilizing ER-ligand complexes in solution. The best approach to evaluate relative solution-binding affinity by nanoESI-MS was to perform competitive binding experiments with 17beta-estradiol (E2) used as a reference ligand. Among the ligands tested, the relative binding affinity for hERalpha LBD measured by nanoESI-MS was 4-hydroxtamoxifen approximately diethylstilbestrol > E2 >> genistein >> bisphenol A, consistent with the order of the binding affinities in solution. The limited reproducibility of the bound to free protein ratio measured by nanoESI-MS for this system only allowed the binding constants (K(d)) to be estimated (low nanomolar range for E2). The specificity of nanoESI-MS combined with its speed (1 min/ligand), low sample consumption (90 pmol protein/ligand), and its sensitivity for ligand (30 ng/mL) demonstrates that this technique is a promising method for screening suspected endocrine disrupting compounds and to qualitatively evaluate their binding affinity.
