Beta+lactamase+class+A+staphylococcus+aureus 


 * *Target (protein/gene name): Beta lactamase class A **
 * *NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#: **[|1280]  [ [|NCBI] ]
 * *Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#: **NP_878023.1
 * *Organism (including strain): **//staphylococcus aureus PC1 //
 * Etiologic Risk Group (see link below): **


 * */ Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini __Research Write__ up): **//Staphylococcus aureus // is a gram-positive bacteria grouped with //Bacillus// sp based on ribosomal RNA sequences. This coccus bacterium grows in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, forming grape-like clusters. Its mainly resides in nasal membranes and skin of warm-blooded animals, causing infections ranging from mild, such as skin infections and food poisoning, to life-threatening, such as pneumonia, sepsis, osteomyelitis, and infectious endocarditis. 1  The organism is highly resistant to antibiotics, including meticillin and the most potent β-lactams. Meticillin-resistant //S aureus// (MRSA) is the main cause of nosocomial infection worldwide and especially prominent in hospital. Beta-lactamase is involved in bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics and if a drug can inhibit this enzyme, then maybe the antiibiotics can work.

 * Link to Gene Database page (NCBI, EuPath databases -e.g. TryTryp, PlasmoDB, etc - or PATRIC, etc.) **

Is it a monomer or multimer as biological unit ** ? (make prediction at ** @http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/prot_int/pistart.html): It is monomeric.
 * Essentiality of this protein: **

The essentiality is pretty high in MRSA infection because beta-lactamase is behind the resistance for beta-lactam antibiotics

Yes, existing drugs are listed here: http://database.idrb.cqu.edu.cn/TTD/ZFTTDDetail.asp?ID=TTDS00228
 * Complex of proteins?: ** No - but it is in the group 2a of beta-lactamase proteins
 * Druggable Target (list number or cite evidence from a paper/database showing druggable in another organism): **

It is druggable – similar to PBP4 target and has some known drugs already


 * *EC#: ** 3.5.2.6

 * Structure (PDB or Homology model) **

No significant similarity between beta-lactamase and human proteins found. Blasted twice to make sure.

This target has a lot of compounds but none of the source organisms are staphylococcus aureus and checking the targets of staphylococcus aureus, 4 main targets are listed, and this is not one them – indicating this is a pretty unstudied target in this organism. - http://www.bindingdb.org/bind/BySourceOrganism.jsp Boronic acids are active-site inhibitors of beta lactamases.
