PURINE NUCLEOSIDE HYDROLASE
Overview
Protozoan parasites rely on the host for purines since they lack a de novo, synthetic pathway. Crithidia fasciculata salvages exogenous inosine, primarily through hydrolysis of the N-ribosidic bond using several, nucleoside hydrolases. The most abundant nucleoside hydrolase is, relatively nonspecific but prefers inosine and uridine as substrates. Here, we report the three-dimensional structure of the inosine-uridine, nucleoside hydrolase (IU-NH) from C. fasciculata determined by X-ray, crystallography at a nominal resolution of 2.5 A. The enzyme has an open, (alpha, beta) structure which differs from the classical dinucleotide, binding fold. IU-nucleoside hydrolase is composed of a mixed, eight-stranded beta sheet surrounded by six alpha helices and a small, C-terminal lobe composed of four alpha helices. Two short antiparallel, beta strands are involved in intermolecular contacts. The catalytic pocket, is located at the C-terminal end of beta strands beta 1 and beta 4. Four, aspartate residues are located at the bottom of the cavity in a geometry, which suggests interaction with the ribose moiety of the nucleoside. These, groups could provide the catalytically important interactions to the, ribosyl hydroxyls and the stabilizing anion for the oxycarbonium-like, transition state. Histidine 241, located on the side of the active site, cavity, is the proposed proton donor which facilitates purine base, departure [Gopaul, D. N., Meyer, S. L., Degano, M., Sacchettini, J. C., &, Schramm, V. L. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 5963-5970]. The substrate binding, site is unlike that from purine nucleoside phosphorylase, phosphoribosyltransferases, or uracil DNA glycosylase and thus represents, a novel architecture for general acid-base catalysis. This detailed, knowledge of the architecture of the active site, together with the, previous transition state analysis [Horenstein, B. A., Parkin, D. W., Estupinan, B., & Schramm, V. L.
