THYMIDYLATE SYNTHASE COMPLEX WITH 2'-DEOXYURIDINE 5'-MONOPHOSPHATE (DUMP) AND FOLATE ANALOG 1843U89
Overview
The anticancer drug 1843U89 inhibits thymidylate synthase (TS) at sub-nanomolar concentrations and is undergoing clinical trial. The 1.95 A crystal structure of Escherichia coli TS bound to the drug and dUMP reveals that the 1843U89 binding surface includes a hydrophobic patch that is normally buried. To reach this patch, 1843U89 inserts into the wall of the TS active site, resulting in a severe local distortion of the protein. In this new conformation, active-site groups that normally bind to the catalytic cofactor methylene-tetrahydrofolate instead bind to 1843U89 in new ways. This structure provides a rare example of a protein that can bind tightly to distinct substances using a single, flexible, binding surface. This has implications for drug design, as 1843U89 could not have been obtained from current structure-based approaches.
