Crystal Structure of Visfatin/Pre-B Cell Colony Enhancing Factor 1/Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase In Complex with Niconamide Mononucleotide
|
OverviewOverview
Visfatin/pre-B cell colony-enhancing factor 1 (PBEF)/nicotinamide, phosphoribosyltransferase (NAmPRTase) is a multifunctional protein having, phosphoribosyltransferase, cytokine and adipokine activities. Originally, isolated as a cytokine promoting the differentiation of B cell precursors, it was recently suggested to act as an insulin analog via the insulin, receptor. Here, we describe the first crystal structure of visfatin in, three different forms: apo and in complex with either nicotinamide, mononucleotide (NMN) or the NAmPRTase inhibitor FK-866 which was developed, as an anti-cancer agent, interferes with NAD biosynthesis, showing a, particularly high specificity for NAmPRTase. The crystal structures of the, complexes with either NMN or FK-866 show that the enzymatic active site of, visfatin is optimized for nicotinamide binding and that the, nicotinamide-binding site is important for inhibition by FK-866., Interestingly, visfatin mimics insulin signaling by binding to the insulin, receptor with an affinity similar to that of insulin and does not share, the binding site with insulin on the insulin receptor. To predict binding, sites, the potential interaction patches of visfatin and the L1-CR-L2, domain of insulin receptor were generated and analyzed. Although the, relationship between the insulin-mimetic property and the enzymatic, function of visfatin has not been clearly established, our structures, raise the intriguing possibility that the glucose metabolism and the NAD, biosynthesis are linked by visfatin.
