PURINE NUCLEOSIDE HYDROLASE WITH A TRANSITION STATE INHIBITOR
Overview
Nucleoside N-ribohydrolases are targets for disruption of purine salvage, in the protozoan parasites. The structure of a trypanosomal, N-ribohydrolase in complex with a transition-state inhibitor is reported, at 2.3 A resolution. The nonspecific nucleoside hydrolase from Crithidia, fasciculata cocrystallized with p-aminophenyliminoribitol reveals tightly, bound Ca2+ as a catalytic site ligand. The complex with the, transition-state inhibitor is characterized by (1) large protein, conformational changes to create a hydrophobic leaving group site (2), C3'-exo geometry for the inhibitor, typical of a ribooxocarbenium ion (3), stabilization of the ribooxocarbenium analogue between the neighboring, group 5'-hydroxyl and bidentate hydrogen bonds to Asn168; and (4), octacoordinate Ca2+ orients a ...
