CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF APO E. COLI GTP CYCLOHYDROLASE II
Overview
GTP cyclohydrolase II converts GTP to, 2,5-diamino-6-beta-ribosyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinone 5'-phosphate, formate and, pyrophosphate, the first step in riboflavin biosynthesis. The essential, role of riboflavin in metabolism and the absence of GTP cyclohydrolase II, in higher eukaryotes makes it a potential novel selective antimicrobial, drug target. GTP cyclohydrolase II catalyzes a distinctive overall, reaction from GTP cyclohydrolase I; the latter converts GTP to, dihydroneopterin triphosphate, utilized in folate and tetrahydrobiopterin, biosynthesis. The structure of GTP cyclohydrolase II determined at 1.54-A, resolution reveals both a different protein fold to GTP cyclohydrolase I, and distinctive molecular recognition determinants for GTP; although in, both enzymes there is a bound catalytic zinc. The GTP cyclohydrolase, II.GMPCPP complex structure shows Arg(128) interacting with the, alpha-phosphonate, and thus in the case of GTP, Arg(128) is positioned to, act as the nucleophile for pyrophosphate release and formation of the, proposed covalent guanylyl-GTP cyclohydrolase II intermediate. Tyr(105) is, identified as playing a key role in GTP ring opening; it is, hydrogen-bonded to the zinc-activated water molecule, the latter being, positioned for nucleophilic attack on the guanine C-8 atom. Although GTP, cyclohydrolase I and GTP cyclohydrolase II both use a zinc ion for the GTP, ring opening and formate release, different residues are utilized in each, case to catalyze this reaction step.
