The Aeromonas veronii bv. sobria metallo-beta -lactamase gene, imiS, was cloned. The imiS open reading frame extends for 762 bp and encodes a protein of 254 amino acids with a secreted modified protein of 227 amino acids and a predicted pI of 8.1. To confirm the predicted sequence, purified ImiS was digested and the resulting peptides were identified, yielding an identical sequence for ImiS, with 98% identity to CphA. Both possessed the putative active-site sequence Asn-Tyr-His-Thr-Asp at positions 88 to 92, which is unique to the Aeromonas metallo-beta -lactamases.
