Part:BBa_K2933011
subclass B1 metallo-beta-lactamase GIM-2, codon optimized in E. coli
This part encodes a protein called GIM-2, which is a metallo-beta-lactamase of subclass B1.
Usage and Biology
GIM-2 is a new variant of GIM-1 with a single mutation, A290G, which was recently discovered. The German imipenemase-1 (GIM-1) MBL was first identified in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Germany in 2002. Recently, GIM-1 has been identified in other bacterial species, such as Serratia marcescens, Enterobacter cloacae, and Acinetobacter pittii , indicating that it is transmitted on mobile genetic elements. As a typical type of metallo-beta-lactamases which make bacteria antibiotic-resistant, it can hydrolyze extensive substrate and may pose a threat to human life and health.
