Local and Global Protein Interactions Contribute to Residue Entrenchment in Beta-Lactamase TEM-1

Due to their rapid evolution and their impact on healthcare, beta-lactamases, protein degrading beta-lactam antibiotics, are used as generic models of protein evolution. Therefore, we investigated the mutation effects in two distant beta-lactamases, TEM-1 and CTX-M-15. Interestingly, we found a site...

description Due to their rapid evolution and their impact on healthcare, beta-lactamases, protein degrading beta-lactam antibiotics, are used as generic models of protein evolution. Therefore, we investigated the mutation effects in two distant beta-lactamases, TEM-1 and CTX-M-15. Interestingly, we found a site with a complex pattern of genetic interactions. Mutation G251W in TEM-1 inactivates the protein’s function, just as the reciprocal mutation, W251G, does in CTX-M-15. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that mutation G has been entrenched in TEM-1’s background: while rarely observed throughout the phylogeny, it is essential in TEM-1. Using a rescue experiment, in the TEM-1 G251W mutant, we identified sites that alleviate the deviation from G to W. While few of these mutations could potentially involve local interactions, most of them were found on distant residues in the 3D structure. Many well-known mutations that have an impact on protein stability, such as M182T, were recovered. Our results therefore suggest that entrenchment of an amino acid may rely on diffuse interactions among multiple sites, with a major impact on protein stability.
