摘要
beta-lactamase enzymes have generated significant interest due to their ability to confer resistance to the most commonly used family of antibiotics in human medicine. Among these enzymes, the class B beta-lactamases are members of a superfamily of metallo-beta-lactamase (M beta L) fold proteins which are characterised by conserved motifs (i.e., HxHxDH) and are not only limited to bacteria. Indeed, as the result of several barriers, including low sequence similarity, default protein annotation, or untested enzymatic activity, M beta L fold proteins have long been unexplored in other organisms. However, thanks to search approaches which are more sensitive compared to classical Blast analysis, such as the use of common ancestors to identify distant homologous sequences, we are now able to highlight their presence in different organisms including Bacteria, Archaea, Nanoarchaeota, Asgard, Humans, Giant viruses, and Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR). These M beta L fold proteins are multifunctional enzymes with diverse enzymatic or non-enzymatic activities of which, at least thirteen activities have been reported such as beta-lactamase, ribonuclease, nuclease, glyoxalase, lactonase, phytase, ascorbic acid degradation, anti-cancer drug degradation, or membrane transport. In this review, we (i) discuss the existence of M beta L fold enzymes in the different domains of life, (ii) present more suitable approaches to better investigating their homologous sequences in unsuspected sources, and (iii) report described M beta L fold enzymes with demonstrated enzymatic or non-enzymatic activities.
