Whether the FDA-approved clinical drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) that is used to target the enzyme thymidylate synthase for anticancer therapy can also bind to DHOase remains unknown. Here, we report the crystal structures of DHOase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ScDHOase) complexed with malate, 5-FU, and 5-aminouracil (5-AU). ScDHOase shares structural similarity with Escherichia coli DHOase. We also characterized the binding of 5-FU and 5-AU to ScDHOase by using the fluorescence quenching method. These complexed structures revealed that residues Arg18, Asn43, Thr106, and Ala275 of ScDHOase were involved in the 5-FU (PDB entry 6L0B) and 5-AU binding (PDB entry 6L0F). Overall, these results provide structural insights that may facilitate the development of new inhibitors targeting DHOase and constitute the 5-FU and 5-AU interactomes for further clinical chemotherapies.
