| - | The novel furopyrimidine N-(4-{N-[(2,4-diaminofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)methyl]methylamino}benzoyl) -L- glutamate (MTXO), a classical antifolate with antitumor activity comparable to that of methotrexate (MTX), has been studied as inhibitor-cofactor ternary crystal complexes with wild-type Pneumocystis carinii (pc) and recombinant human wild-type dihydrofolate reductase (hDHFR). These structural data provide the first direct comparison of the binding interactions of the same antifolate inhibitor in the active site for pc and human DHFR. The human ternary DHFR complex crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group R3 and is isomorphous to the ternary complex reported for a gamma-tetrazole methotrexate analogue, MTXT. The pcDHFR complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1) and is isomorphous to that reported for a trimethoprim (TMP) complex. Interpretation of difference Fourier electron-density maps for these ternary complexes revealed that MTXO binds with its 2,4-diaminofuropyrimidine ring interacting with Glu32 in pc and Glu30 in human DHFR, as observed for MTXT. The presence of the 6-5 furopyrimidine ring instead of the 6-6 pteridine ring results in a different bridge conformation compared with that of MTXT. The bridge torsion angles for MTXO, i.e. C(4a)-C(5)-C(8)-N(9) and C(5)-C(8)-N(9)-C(1'), are -156.5/51.9 degrees and -162.6/51.8 degrees, respectively for h and pc, compared with -146.8/57.4 degrees for MTXT. In each case, the p-aminobenzoylglutamate conformation is similar to that observed for MTXT. In the pcDHFR complex, the active-site region is conserved and the additional 20 residues in the sequence compared with the human enzyme are located in external loop regions. There is a significant change in the nicotinamide ribose conformation of the cofactor which places the nicotinamide O atom close to the 4NH(2) group of MTXO (2.7 A), a shift not observed in hDHFR structures. As a consequence of this, there is a loss of a hydrogen bond between the nicotinamide carbonyl group and the backbone of Ala12 in pcDHFR. In the human ternary complexes, the cofactor NADPH is bound with a more extended conformation, and the nicotinamide O atom makes a 3.5 A contact with the 4NH(2) group of MTXO. Although the novel classical antifolate MTXO is not highly active against pcDHFR, there are correlations between its binding interactions consistent with its lower potency as an inhibitor of h and pcDHFR compared with MTX. | + | The line below this paragraph, {{ABSTRACT_PUBMED_15299851}}, adds the Publication Abstract to the page |
