DIHYDROPYRIMIDINE DEHYDROGENASE (DPD) FROM PIG, TERNARY COMPLEX OF A MUTANT ENZYME (C671A), NADPH AND 5-FLUOROURACIL
OverviewOverview
Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase catalyzes the first step in pyrimidine, degradation: the NADPH-dependent reduction of uracil and thymine to the, corresponding 5,6-dihydropyrimidines. Its controlled inhibition has become, an adjunct target for cancer therapy, since the enzyme is also responsible, for the rapid breakdown of the chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil. The, crystal structure of the homodimeric pig liver enzyme (2x 111 kDa), determined at 1.9 A resolution reveals a highly modular subunit, organization, consisting of five domains with different folds., Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase contains two FAD, two FMN and eight, [4Fe-4S] clusters, arranged in two electron transfer chains that pass the, dimer interface twice. Two of the Fe-S clusters show a hitherto unobserved, ... [(full description)]
