Identification of the active site in penicillin-binding protein 3 of Escherichia coli. 1985

R A Nicholas, and J L Strominger, and H Suzuki, and Y Hirota

We report the sequence of the active site tryptic peptide of penicillin-binding protein 3 from Escherichia coli. Purified penicillin-binding protein 3 was labeled with [14C]penicillin G and digested with trypsin, and the resulting radioactive peptides were isolated by a combination of gel filtration and high-pressure liquid chromatography. The major radioactive peak from high-pressure liquid chromatography was sequenced, and the peptide Thr-Ile-Thr-Asp-Val-Phe-Glu-Pro-Gly-Ser-Thr-Val-Lys, which comprises residues 298 to 310 in the amino acid sequence, was identified. This sequence is compared with the active site sequences from other penicillin-binding proteins and beta-lactamases.

D004926	Escherichia coli	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
