== Function == | |||
'''Ribonucleotide reductase''' (RNR) catalyzes the formation of deoxyribonucleotides from ribonucleotides. | '''Ribonucleotide reductase''' (RNR) or '''ribonucleotide-diphosphate reductase''' catalyzes the formation of deoxyribonucleotides from ribonucleotides<ref>PMID:16756507</ref>. There are 3 classes of RNR.<br /> | ||
* '''Class Ia RNR''' is a tetramer composed from large (RNR1) and small (RNR2) subunits. Class I RNR is iron-dependent and produces tyrosyl radical. Thimidine triphosphate (TTP) is an effector in the reaction<ref>PMID:21456967</ref>.<br /> | |||
* ''' Class Ib RNR''' contains 2 proteins: α (NrdE) and β (NrdF)<ref>PMID:21250660</ref>.<br /> | |||
''E. Coli'' contains two types of RNR: the aerobic RNR belongs to class Ia and is composed of proteins R1 and R2, the anaerobic RNR belongs to class Ib<ref>PMID:17496099</ref>. <br /> | |||
* ''' Class II RNR''' reduces ribonucleotide triphosphates using coenzyme B12<ref>PMID:11875520</ref>.<br /> | |||
* '''Class III RNR''' generate glycine radical using S-adenosyl methionine and Fe-S center<ref>PMID:17606358</ref>.<br /> | |||

RNR inhibitors are studied as therapeutic antiviral, antibacterial and anti-cancer drugs<ref>PMID:21791713</ref>. | |||
== Structural highlights == | |||
Class II RNR is <scene name='46/461381/Cv/5'>vitamin B12-dependent</scene>. The active site which binds the substrate is in a tight pocket and contains conserved residues involved in the catalytic mechanism <ref>PMID:15475969</ref>. | |||
*<scene name='46/461381/Cv/6'>dATP binding site</scene>. Water molecules are shown as red spheres. | |||
