The beta-lactamase from Shigella flexneri UCSF-129 was irreversible inactivated by 6-beta-iodopenicillanic acid. Only one serine residue was modified, according to the spectra change and the amino acid analyses. A pH variation of 0.3 units was found when the chemically modified enzyme was submitted to isoelectric focusing. The inactivation constant of the fast time course reaction was 0.1 seg-1. Protection of 96% was obtained, using cephradine 2,830 times more concentrated than 6-beta-iodopenicillanic acid. It is suggested that this enzyme belongs to class A, according to Ambler (1980).

6-Beta-halogenopenicillanates are powerful, irreversible inhibitors of various beta-lactamases and penicillin-binding proteins. Upon acylation of these enzymes, the inhibitors are thought to undergo a structural rearrangement associated with the departure of the iodide and formation of a dihydrothiazine ring, but, to date, no structural evidence has proven this. 6-Beta-iodopenicillanic acid (BIP) is shown here to be an active antibiotic against various bacterial strains and an effective inhibitor of the class A beta-lactamase of Bacillus subtilis BS3 (BS3) and the D,D-peptidase of Actinomadura R39 (R39).

Beta-lactamases have been reported to be largely responsible for beta-lactam resistance in Mycobacteria. We report the characterization of a cell-associated beta-lactamase from Mycobacterium smegmatis. The enzyme hydrolyzed the "beta-lactamase-stable" oximinocephalosporins.

Clavulanic acid, the therapeutically important inhibitor of beta-lactamases containing a nucleophilic serine residue at their active sites, inhibits Escherichia coli TEM-2 beta-lactamase via a complex mechanism. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) studies revealed that a minimum of four different modified proteins are formed upon incubation of clavulanate with the TEM-2 enzyme. These exhibit mass increments relative to the unmodified TEM-2 beta-lactamase of 52, 70, 88, and 155 Da.
