The crystal structure of murine 11b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase complexed with corticosterone
OverviewOverview
11Beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1) catalyzes the, conversion of 11-dehydrocorticosterone to its active form corticosterone, in rodents (or cortisone to cortisol in humans). The reductive reaction of, the 11-keto to 11-hydroxyl is the pivotal switch in the activation of, glucocorticoids. An excess of active glucocorticoids has been shown to, play a key role in metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity., Therefore, 11beta-HSD1 represents an important therapeutic target for the, treatment of these diseases. To facilitate the iterative design of, inhibitors, we have crystallized and determined the three-dimensional, structures of a binary complex of murine 11beta-HSD1 with NADP(H) to a, resolution of 2.3 A and of a ternary complex with corticosterone and, NADP(H) to a resolution of 3.0 A by X-ray crystallography. The enzyme, forms a homodimer in the crystal and has a fold similar to those of other, members of the family of short chain steroid dehydrogenases/reductases, (SDRs). The structure shows a novel folding feature at the C-terminus of, the enzyme. The C-terminal helix insertions provide additional dimer, contacts, exert an influence on the conformations of the substrate binding, loops, and present hydrophobic regions for potential membrane attachment., The structure also reveals how 11beta-HSD1 achieves its selectivity for, its substrate.
