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 ... [(full description)]
