Crystal Structure of 5'-Deoxy-5'-Methylthioadenosine Phosphorylase in Complex with a Transition State Analogue
OverviewOverview
Methythioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) functions solely in the polyamine, pathway of mammals to remove the methylthioadenosine (MTA) product from, both spermidine synthase (2.5.1.16) and spermine synthase (2.5.1.22)., Inhibition of polyamine synthesis is a validated anticancer target. We, designed and synthesized chemically stable analogues for the proposed, transition state of human MTAP on the basis of the known ribooxacarbenium, character at all reported N-ribosyltransferase transition states [Schramm, V. L. (2003) Acc. Chem. Res. 36, 588-596]. Methylthio-immucillin-A, (MT-ImmA) is an iminoribitol tight-binding transition state analogue, inhibitor with an equilibrium dissociation constant of 1.0 nM. The, immucillins resemble the ribooxacarbenium ion transition states of, N-ribosyltransferases and are tightly bound as the N4' cations. An ion, pair formed between the iminoribitol cation and phosphate anion mimics the, ribooxacarbenium cation-phosphate anion pair formed at the transition, state and is confirmed in the crystal structure. The X-ray crystal, structure of human MTAP with bound MT-Imm-A also reveals that the, 5'-methylthio group lies in a flexible hydrophobic pocket. Substitution of, the 5'-methylthio group with a 5'-phenylthio group gives an equilibrium, binding constant of 1.0 nM. Methylthio-DADMe-immucillin-A is a pyrrolidine, analogue of the transition state with a methylene bridge between the, 9-deazaadenine group and the pyrrolidine ribooxacarbenium mimic. It is a, slow-onset inhibitor with a dissociation constant of 86 pM. Improved, binding energy with DADMe-immucillin-A suggests that the transition state, is more closely matched by increasing the distance between leaving group, and ribooxacarbenium mimics, consistent with a more dissociative, transition state. Increasing the hydrophobic volume near the 5'-position, at the catalytic site with 5'-phenylthio-DADMe-immucillin-A gave a, dissociation constant of 172 pM, slightly weaker than the 5'-methylthio, group. p-Cl-phenylthio-DADMe-immucillin-A binds with a dissociation, constant of 10 pM (K(m)/K(i) value of 500000), the tightest binding, inhibitor reported for MTAP. These slow-onset, tight-binding transition, state analogue inhibitors are the most powerful reported for MTAP and have, sufficient affinity to be useful in inhibiting the polyamine pathway.
