IMP-71 is a type of subclass B metal beta-lactamases, which is derived from IMP-1 mutation. The beta lactamases of the IMP family can hydrolyze almost all available beta lactam antibiotics (except aztreonam) clinically, including the broad-spectrum antibiotic carbapenems. Because of the extensive substrate profile of this enzyme, the clinical strains carrying it become a great threat to human life and health.<br>

subclass B1 metallo-beta-lactamase IMP-71, codon optimized in E. coli

This part encodes a protein called IMP-71, which is a metallo-beta-lactamase of subclass B1.

Bacteria with IMP-type enzymes have spread through out the world, and the IMP group now has more than 50 variants These enzymes possess a broad substrate specificity and a high affinity for cephalosporins and carbapenems but a low activity toward temocillin

Molecular cloning

First, we used the vector pGEX-6p-1 to construct our expression plasmid. And then we converted the plasmid constructed to E. coli DH5α to expand the plasmid largely.

After verification, it was determined that the construction is successful. We converted the plasmid to E. coli BL21(DE3) for expression and purification.
