The formation of functional penicillin-binding proteins.
A method was developed which permitted determination of the [14C]benzylpenicillin and [14C]Cephapirin binding capacity of rapidly growing Bacillus subtilis cells in liquid culture. Over the concentration range of the binding plateau (0.1 to 0.8 mug/ml), [14C]benzylpenicillin significantly inhibited formation of functional penicillin-binding proteins, but had comparatively little effect on total...
متن کاملPenicillin-binding proteins in Clostridium perfringens.
The penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of Clostridium perfringens were studied. Six PBPs ranging in molecular weight from approximately 42,000 to 100,000 were detected in the cytoplasmic membrane. The relative affinities of the PBPs for 16 beta-lactam antibiotics were determined. Most of the drug saturated PBP 3 and 4 at concentrations equal to their minimal inhibitory concentrations, suggestin...
متن کاملPenicillin-binding proteins in Borrelia burgdorferi.
Penicillin-binding proteins were identified in Borrelia burgdorferi membranes. A 94-kilodalton penicillin-binding protein was the first to be labeled with tritiated penicillin and was the first band to disappear in a competition experiment. Its binding ability was destroyed when membranes were preboiled. In addition, several of these penicillin-binding proteins comigrated with bands previously ...
متن کاملPenicillin-binding proteins in Leptospira interrogans.
The Leptospira interrogans ponA and pbpB genes were isolated and characterized. ponA and pbpB encode the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) 1 and 3, respectively. There is little sequence variation between the PBP genes from two L. interrogans strains (serovar icterohaemorrhagiae strain Verdun and serovar pomona strain RZ11). The deduced L. interrogans PBP 1 and PBP 3 protein sequences from the...
متن کاملKinetics of penicillin binding to penicillin-binding proteins of Staphylococcus aureus.
Reduced affinity of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) for binding penicillin has been proposed as a mechanism of beta-lactam antibiotic resistance in staphylococci. Penicillin binding by PBPs of three penicillin-susceptible and two penicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus was studied in kinetic assays to determine rate constants, drug concentrations at which PBPs were bound and th...
