Bacillus cereus Beta-lactamase 2 and related metallo-beta-lactamases, subclass B1; MBL-fold metallo-hydrolase domain
Bacillus cereus Beta-lactamase 2, also called BcII. MBLs (class B of the Ambler beta-lactamase classification) have been divided into three subclasses B1, B2 and B3, based on sequence/structural relationships and substrates, with the B1 and B2 MBLs being most closely related to each other. BcII is a chromosome-encoded B1 MBL. B1 enzymes are most active with two zinc ions bound in the active site, and have a broad-spectrum substrate profile.
