CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF DIMETHYLARGININE DIMETHYLAMINOHYDROLASE I IN COMPLEX WITH S-NITROSO-LHOMOCYSTEINE

Overview

Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) is involved in the, regulation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) by metabolizing the free, endogenous arginine derivatives N(omega)-methyl-L-arginine (MMA) and, N(omega),N(omega)-dimethyl-L-arginine (ADMA), which are competitive, inhibitors of NOS. Here, we present high-resolution crystal structures of, DDAH isoform 1 (DDAH-1) isolated from bovine brain in complex with, different inhibitors, including S-nitroso-L-homocysteine and Zn2+, a, regulator of this mammalian enzyme. The structure of DDAH-1 consists of a, propeller-like fold similar to other arginine-modifying enzymes and a, flexible loop, which adopts different conformations and acts as a lid at, the entrance of the active site. The orientation and interaction mode of, inhibitors in the ... [(full description)]
