A hybrid protein between maltose-binding protein and TEM1 β-lactamase is shown to possess high affinity for zinc, which allosterically turns off enzyme activity. Since the parental proteins lack both zinc affinity and zinc-dependent allostery, this is an example of ligand-binding and allostery emerging simultaneously.
