Crystal structure of 5-methylthioribose kinase in complex with ADP-2Ho
OverviewOverview
Trivalent holmium ions were shown to isomorphously replace magnesium ions, to form an ADP-2Ho complex in the nucleotide-binding domain of Bacillus, subtilis 5-methylthioribose (MTR) kinase. This nucleotide-holmium complex, provided sufficient phasing power to allow SAD and SIRAS phasing of this, previously unknown structure using the L(III) absorption edge of holmium., The structure of ADP-2Ho reveals that the two Ho ions are approximately 4, A apart and are likely to share their ligands: the phosphoryl O atoms of, ADP and a water molecule. The structure determination of MTR kinase using, data collected using Cu Kalpha X-radiation was also attempted. Although, the heavy-atom substructure determination was successful, interpretation, of the map was more challenging. The isomorphous substitution of holmium, for magnesium in the MTR kinase-nucleotide complex suggests that this, could be a useful phasing tool for other metal-dependent, nucleotide-containing proteins.
