A class C -lactamase from a clinical isolate of Enterobacter cloacae strain GC1 with improvedhydrolytic activity for oxyimino -lactam antibiotics has been analyzed by X-ray crystallography to 1.8Å resolution. Relative to the wild-type P99 -lactamase, this natural mutant contains a highly uniquetandem repeat Ala211-Val212-Arg213 [Nugaka et al. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 5729-5735]. The 39.4kDa chromosomal -lactamase crystallizes from poly(ethylene glycol) 8000 in potassium phosphate inspace group P21212 with cell dimensions a = 78.0 Å, b = 69.5 Å, and c = 63.1 Å. The crystal structurewas solved by the molecular replacement method, and the model has been refined to an R-factor of 0.20for all nonzero data from 8 to 1.8 Å. Deviations of model bonds and angles from ideal values are 0.008Å and 1.4, respectively. Overlay of pha.gif" BORDER=0>-carbon atoms in the GC1 and P99 -lactamases results in an rmsdeviation of 0.6 Å. Largest deviations occur in a loop containing Gln120 and in the loop region (200-218) where the three residues 213-215 are disordered. Possibly as a result of this disorder, the width ofthe opening to the substrate binding cavity, as measured from the 318-324 -strand to two loops containingGln120 and Tyr150 on the other side, is 0.6-1.4 Å wider than in P99. It is suggested that conformationalflexibility in the expanded loop, and its influence on adjacent protein structure, may facilitate hydrolysisof oxyimino -lactams by making the acyl intermediate more open to attack by water. Nevertheless,backbone atoms in core catalytic site residues Ser64, Lys67, Tyr150, Asn152, Lys318, and Ser321 deviateonly 0.4 Å (rmsd) from atoms in P99. A rotation of a potential catalytic base, Tyr150, relative to P99 atpH 8, is consistent with the requirement for a lower than normal pKa for this residue.
