This presentation explores the roles of Dihydrofolate Reductase (DHFR), Beta-Lactamase, p300, and the Macrophage Infectivity Potentiator (MIP) in microbial resistance and cell growth. DHFR is pivotal for amino acid and nucleic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli, while Beta-Lactamase contributes to antibiotic resistance. The p300 acetyltransferase is crucial for transcriptional activation and cellular processes. MIP enhances virulence in Legionella pneumophila, responsible for Legionnaires' disease. This analysis discusses mechanisms, structures, and potential therapeutic targets.

PRESENTATION II NAME Dihydrofolate Reductase Beta lactmase p300 Macrophage Infectivity Potentiator By Christine Harvey
Class: oxidoreductase • Reduces dihydrofolate (DHF) to tetrahydrofolate (THF) • THF is a precursor to amino acids, purine and thymidylate. • DHFR is imperative to cell life http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHFR
Function Source: Schweitzer, Barry I., et al. The FASEB Journal Vol 4, “Dihydrofolate reductase as a therapeutic target.” May 1990.
Mechanism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHFR
Class: Hydrolase • Beta Lactamase is produce by bacteria after being exposed to beta lactam antibiotics • Responsible for beta lactam antibiotic resistance
Penicillin • Contains beta lactam ring
Class: Transferase • p300 transfers an acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A to an active site lysine • Transcriptional activation occurs upon acetyl transfer
Title • p300 is responsible for cell growth before and after birth • Cancer suppressor

Legionella pneumophila • gram negative bacteria • Causes Legionnaires’ disease • Carried in aerosols from man-made water systems
MIP • Class: Isomerase • Catalyzes the isomeration of the N-terminal on proline • Cause of virulence in Legionnaires’ disease • Located on outer membrane protein • 25 kDa
Crystalization • Solution: 100 mM MES (pH 6.1–6.5), 15–20% (w/v) PEG 8000 and 500 mM zinc acetate. Protein concentration was 10 mg ml–1in 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.0 • Crystals were grown for 2-3 weeks at 288K • X-ray data was collected at 100K in a nitrogen gas stream (dried paraffin oil) at 2.4 Angstrom resolution • Multiwavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) with zinc was used for phasing
