Overexpression of NQO1 in many solid tumours coupled with its ability to convert quinone-based chemotherapeutics into potent cytotoxic compounds made it a very attractive target for anti-cancer drugs. A naturally occurring single nucleotide polymorphism (transition from C609T) leading to an amino acid exchange (P187S) has been implicated in development of various cancers and poor survival rates following anthracyclin based adjuvant chemotherapy. Despite the importance for cancer prediction and therapy, the exact molecular basis for the loss of function in NQO1 P187S is currently unknown. Therefore we solved the crystal structure of NQO1 P187S. Surprisingly, this structure is virtually identical to NQO1. Employing a combination of NMR spectroscopy and limited proteolysis experiments we demonstrate that the single amino acid exchange destabilizes interactions between the core and C-terminal domain leading to depopulation of the native structure in solution. This collapse of the native structure diminishes cofactor affinity and leads to a less competent FAD binding pocket thus severely compromising the catalytic capacity of the variant protein. Hence our findings provide a rationale for the loss of function in NQO1 P187S due to a frequently occurring single nucleotide polymorphism. This article is protected by copyright.
