The class D β-lactamases are characterized by the presence of a carboxylated lysine in the active site that participates in catalysis. Found in Acinetobacter baumannii, OXA-24 is a class D carbapenem hydrolyzing enzyme that exhibits resistance to most available β-lactamase inhibitors. In this study, the reaction between a 6-alkylidiene penam sulfone inhibitor, SA-1-204, in single crystals of OXA-24 is followed by Raman microscopy. Details of its reaction with SA-1-204 provide insight into the enzyme's mode of action and help define the mechanism of inhibition. When the crystal is maintained in HEPES buffer, the reaction is fast, shorter than the time scale of the Raman experiment. However, when the crystal holding solution contains 28% PEG 2000, the reaction is slower and can be recorded by Raman microscopy in real time; the inhibitor's Raman bands quickly disappear, transient features are seen due to an early intermediate, and, at approximately 2-11 min, new bands appear that are assigned to the late intermediate species. At about 50 min, bands due to all intermediates are replaced by Raman signals of the unreacted inhibitor. The new population remains unchanged indicating (i) that the OXA-24 is no longer active and (ii) that the decarboxylation of Lys84 occurred during the first reaction cycle. Using absorbance spectroscopy, a one-cycle reaction could be carried out in aqueous solution producing inactive OXA-24 as assayed by the chromogenic substrate nitrocefin. However, activity could be restored by reacting aqueous OXA-24 with a large excess of NaHCO(3), which recarboxylates Lys84. In contrast, the addition of NaHCO(3) was not successful in reactivating OXA-24 in the crystalline state; this is ascribed to the inability to create a concentration of NaHCO(3) in large excess over the OXA-24 that is present in the crystal. The finding that inhibitor compounds can inactivate a class D enzyme by promoting decarboxylation of an active site lysine suggests a novel function that could be exploited in inhibitor design.

A 6-alkylidiene penam sulfone, SA-1-204, is an efficient inhibitor of both SHV-1 and OXA-1 beta-lactamases with K(I) = 42 +/- 4 nm and 1.0 +/- 0.1 microm, respectively. To gain insight into the reaction chemistry of SA-1-204, the reactions between this inhibitor and SHV-1 and OXA-1 were studied by Raman spectroscopy in single crystals and in solution. Raman signatures characteristic of the unreacted beta-lactam ring show that in both phases the inhibitor binds as a noncovalent Michaelis-like complex. This complex is present as the major population for periods of up to an hour. On longer time scales, the Raman data show that beta-lactam ring opening eventually leads to a complex mixture of reaction products. However, the data clearly demonstrate that the key species for inhibition on the time scale of bacterial half-lives is the noncovalent complex preceding acylation.

Bacterial β-lactamase enzymes are in large part responsible for the decreased ability of β-lactam antibiotics to combat infections. The inability to overcome β-lactamase mediated resistance spurred the development of inhibitors with penems and penam sulfones being amongst the most potent and broad spectrum mechanism-based inactivators. These inhibitors form covalent, "suicide-type" inhibitory intermediates that are attached to the catalytic S70 residue. To further probe the details of the mechanism of β-lactamase inhibition by these novel compounds, we determined the crystal structures of SHV-1 bound with penem 1, and penam sulfones SA1-204 and SA3-53. Comparison with each other and with previously determined crystal structures of members of these classes of inhibitors suggests that the final conformation of the covalent adduct can vary greatly amongst the complex structures. In contrast, a common theme of carbonyl conjugation as a mechanism to avoid deacylation emerges despite that the penem and penam sulfone inhibitors form different types of intermediates. The detailed insights gained from this study could be used to further improve new mechanism-based inhibitors of these common class A serine β-lactamases.
