In an effort to probe the structure of a group Bb metallo-beta-lactamase, Co(II)-substituted ImiS was prepared and characterized by electronic absorption, NMR, and EPR spectroscopies. ImiS containing 1 equiv of Co(II) (Co(II)(1)-ImiS) was shown to be catalytically active. Electronic absorption studies of Co(II)(1)-ImiS revealed the presence of two distinct features: (1) an intense sulfur to Co(II) ligand to metal charge transfer band and (2) less intense, Co(II) ligand field transitions that suggest 4-coordinate Co(II) in Co(II)(1)-ImiS. H-1 NMR studies of Co(II)I-ImiS suggest that one histidine, one aspartic acid, and one cysteine coordinate the metal ion in Co(II)I-ImiS. The addition of a second Co(II)to Co(II)I-ImiS did not result in any additional solvent-exchangeable NMR resonances, strongly suggesting that the second Co(II) does not bind to a site with histidine ligands. EPR studies reveal that the metal ion in Co(II)(1)-ImiS is 4-coordinate and that the second Co(II) is 5/6 coordinate. Taken together, these data indicate that the catalytic site in ImiS is the consensus Zn-2 Site, in which Co(II) (and by extrapolation Zn(II)) is 4-coordinate and bound by Cys221, His263, Asp120, and probably one solvent water molecule. These studies also show that the second, inhibitory metal ion does not bind to the consensus Zn-1 site and that the metal ion binds at a site significantly removed from the active site. These results give the first structural information on metallo-beta-lactamase ImiS and suggest that the second metal binding site in ImiS may be targeted for inhibitors.
