PURINE NUCLEOSIDE PHOSPHORYLASE FROM CALF SPLEEN IN COMPLEX WITH N(7)-ACYCLOGUANOSINE INHIBITOR AND A PHOSPHATE ION
OverviewOverview
The calf spleen purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) ternary complex with, an N(7)-acycloguanosine inhibitor and a phosphate ion has been, crystallized in the cubic space group P2(1)3, with unit-cell parameter a =, 94.11 A and one monomer per asymmetric unit. X-ray diffraction data were, collected using synchrotron radiation (Station X31, EMBL Outstation, DESY, Hamburg). The crystal structure was refined to a resolution of 2.2 A and R, and R(free) values of 17.5 and 24.5%, respectively. The acyclonucleoside, inhibitor is bound in the active site in an inverted ('upside-down'), orientation of the purine base compared with natural substrates. The side, chain of Asp243 forms two hydrogen bonds with the base ring: N(delta), donates a hydrogen to N(3) and O(delta) accepts a hydrogen from the, guanine N(2)-amino group. N(1)--H of the base is hydrogen bonded to, O(epsilon) of Glu201, while N(9) accepts a hydrogen bond from Thr242, O(gamma). In addition, a water molecule (W417) bridges the N(2)-amino, group of the base and O(epsilon) of Glu201. In the phosphate-binding site, a phosphate ion is bound to Ser33, His64, Arg84, His86, Ala116 and Ser220., The acyclic chain of the N(7)-acycloguanosine inhibitor is in a folded, conformation and together with a water molecule (W388) occupies the, pentose-binding site, with possible hydrogen bonds to Tyr88 O(eta) and, His257 N(delta 1). This new binding mode fully accounts for the previously, observed substrate properties of 7-beta-D-ribofuranosides of hypoxanthine, and guanine. It also provides a new starting point for the design of, inhibitors of PNP for therapeutic and other applications.
