Biological role
Structure
Interaction
Cap Analog Binding (7-methylguanosine-5-triphosphate-5-Guanosine)
binds to the enzyme in a pocket near the AdoHcy. (Tyr 145, Leu216, Leu217, Asp218, Ser219, Tyr284) are involded in the binding of the cap analog. The cap makes Van der Walls contacts, hydrogen bond and water mediated bond. The enzyme specifically binds to guanine. This specificity is achieved through the recognition by the enzyme residues through hydrogen bonds of the guanine N1, N3, and O6 atoms. [1]
AdoHcy Binding (S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine)
The mRNA Cap Methyltransferase bind to which is the product of the methyl donor AdoMet after the methylation. AdoHcys is in a pocket formed by amino acids of segment 2. (Lys54, Gly72, Asp78, Asp94, Ile95, Asp122, Ser124, Gln140, Phe141, Ser142) are involved in the stabilisation of AdoHcys. The interactions between AdoHcys and the enzyme are made of : hydrogen bonds, Van der Walls interactions,electrostatic interaction and water mediated contact. [1]
Mechanism
This enzyme catalyse N-methyl transfer from AdoMet (S-adenosylmethionine) to GpppRNA, this reaction produce 7-methyl-GpppRNA and AdoHcy. This reaction is made trough a SN2 mechanism. We remark that the enzyme do not stabilize the transition state of the chemical reaction, do not promote the activation of the nucleophile or the explusion of the leaving group. mRNA Cap Methyltransferase brings the two substrates closer and orientates the substrates to facilitate the methyl transfer.
