Streptococcus pneumoniae, a major pathogen of the upper respiratory tract, is often found to be resistant to ?-lactam antibiotics, drugs which are commonly used in pneumococcal associated infections. The targets of these antibiotics are enzymes involved in bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis, the Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs), whose active site structure is modified in resistant strains. In this work we present first the high resolution crystal structure of PBP1b, one of the three bifunctional pneumococcal PBPs, which revealed a structural reorganization of the active site as a consequence of its interaction with a pseudo-substrate of the reaction. This result led us to suggest that the active site opening plays a key role during the ...
