| UniProt functional annotation for P62593 | |||
| UniProt codes: P62593, P00810. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli. | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | TEM-type are the most prevalent beta-lactamases in enterobacteria; they hydrolyze the beta-lactam bond in susceptible beta-lactam antibiotics, thus conferring resistance to penicillins and cephalosporins. TEM-3 and TEM-4 are capable of hydrolyzing cefotaxime and ceftazidime. TEM-5 is capable of hydrolyzing ceftazidime. TEM-6 is capable of hydrolyzing ceftazidime and aztreonam. TEM-8/CAZ-2, TEM- 16/CAZ-7 and TEM-24/CAZ-6 are markedly active against ceftazidime. IRT- 4 shows resistance to beta-lactamase inhibitors. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=a beta-lactam + H2O = a substituted beta-amino acid; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:20401, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:35627, ChEBI:CHEBI:140347; EC=3.5.2.6; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10101}; | |
| Biotechnology: | This protein is used as a marker in many commonly used cloning vectors, such as pBR322 and the pUC series. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The beta-lactamase present on pBR322 was cloned from plasmid R1 (R7268). | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the class-A beta-lactamase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
