  • Title: Recognition and interaction of CphA from Aeromonas hydrophila with imipenem and biapenem by spectroscopic analysis in combination with molecular docking.

    Journal: J Mol Recognit; 2019 Aug; 32(8):e2781. PubMed ID: 31050067.
    Abstract:
    The molecular recognition and interaction of CphA from Aeromonas hydrophila with imipenem (Imip) and biapenem (Biap) were studied by means of the combined use of fluorescence spectra and molecular docking. The results showed that both the fluorescence quenching of CphA by Imip and Biap were caused through the combined dynamic and static quenching, and the latter was dominating in the process; the microenvironment and conformational of CphA were altered upon the addition of Imip and Biap from synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence. The binding of CphA with Imip or Biap caused a conformational change in the loop of CphA, and through the conformational change, the loop opened the binding pocket of CphA to allow for an induced fit of the newly introduced ligand. In the binding of CphA with Imip, the whole molecule entered into the active pocket of CphA. The binding was driven by enthalpy change, and the binding force between them was mainly hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals force; whereas in the binding of CphA with Biap, only the beta-lactam ring of Biap entered into the binding pocket of CphA while the side chain was located outside the active pocket. The binding was driven by the enthalpy change and entropy change together, and the binding force between them was mainly electrostatic interaction. This study provided an insight into the recognition and binding of CphA with antibiotics, which may be helpful for designing new substrate for beta-lactamase and developing new antibiotics resistant to superbugs.
