Characterization of the charge variants of L2 beta-lactamase in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.

Abstract excerpt

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia KH has two acid beta-lactamases with isoelectric points (pIs) of 4.6 and 5.4, and several basic beta-lactamases (pIs >7.0) that produce a ladder-shaped pattern by IEF. An isogenic L2 mutant, KHL2(xylE), was constructed by gene replacement. From IEF and native PAGE zymograms of strains KH and KHL2(xylE), it was demonstrated that the basic beta-lactamases and the acid beta-lactamase...
