| Abstract | Serratia marcescens S6 produces a pI 9.7 carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase that is probably encoded by the chromosome (Y. Yang, P. Wu, and D. M. Livermore, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 34:755-758, 1990). A total of 11.3 kb of genomic DNA from this strain was cloned into plasmid pACYC184 in Escherichia coli. After further subclonings, the carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase gene (blaSme-1) was sequenced (EMBL accession number Z28968). The gene corresponded to an 882-bp open reading frame which encoded a 294-amino-acid polypeptide. This open reading frame was preceded by a -10 and a -35 region consistent with a putative promoter sequence of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. This promoter was active in E. coli and S. marcescens, as demonstrated by primer extension analysis. N-terminal sequencing showed that the Sme-1 enzyme had a 27-amino-acid leader peptide and enabled calculation of the molecular mass of the mature protein (29.3 kDa). Sequence alignment revealed that Sme-1 is a class A serine beta-lactamase and not a class B metalloenzyme. The earlier view that the enzyme was zinc dependent was discounted. Among class A beta-lactamases, Sme-1 had the greatest amino acid identity (70%) with the pI 6.9 carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase, NMC-A, from Enterobacter cloacae NOR-1. Comparison of these two protein sequences suggested a role for specific residues in carbapenem hydrolysis. The relatedness of Sme-1 to other class A beta-lactamases such as the TEM and SHV types was remote. This work details the sequence of the second carbapenem-hydrolyzing class A beta-lactamase from an enterobacterial species and the first in the genus Serratia. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
