Function

CDD_MYCTU Recycles cytidine and 2-deoxycytidine for uridine and 2-deoxyuridine synthesis, respectively. Catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of cytidine and 2-deoxycytidine to form, respectively, uridine and 2-deoxyuridine.[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The emergence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, has exacerbated the treatment and control of this disease. Cytidine deaminase (CDA) is a pyrimidine salvage pathway enzyme that recycles cytidine and 2'-deoxycytidine for uridine and 2'-deoxyuridine synthesis, respectively. A probable M. tuberculosis CDA-coding sequence (cdd, Rv3315c) was cloned, sequenced, expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), and purified to homogeneity. Mass spectrometry, N-terminal amino acid sequencing, gel filtration chromatography, and metal analysis of M. tuberculosis CDA (MtCDA) were carried out. These results and multiple sequence alignment demonstrate that MtCDA is a homotetrameric Zn(2+)-dependent metalloenzyme. Steady-state kinetic measurements yielded the following parameters: K(m)=1004 microM and k(cat)=4.8s(-1) for cytidine, and K(m)=1059 microM and k(cat)=3.5s(-1) for 2'-deoxycytidine. The pH dependence of k(cat) and k(cat)/K(M) for cytidine indicate that protonation of a single ionizable group with apparent pK(a) value of 4.3 abolishes activity, and protonation of a group with pK(a) value of 4.7 reduces binding. MtCDA was crystallized and crystal diffracted at 2.0 A resolution. Analysis of the crystallographic structure indicated the presence of a Zn(2+) coordinated by three conserved cysteines and the structure exhibits the canonical cytidine deaminase fold.
