Human soluble Epoxide Hydrolase- N-cyclohexyl-N'-(4-iodophenyl)urea complex

Contents

Overview

The X-ray crystal structure of human soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has, been determined at 2.6 A resolution, revealing a domain-swapped quaternary, structure identical to that observed for the murine enzyme [Argiriadi, M., A., Morisseau, C., Hammock, B. D., and Christianson, D. W. (1999) Proc., Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 96, 10637-10642]. As with the murine enzyme, the, epoxide hydrolytic mechanism of the human enzyme proceeds through an, alkyl-enzyme intermediate with Asp-333 in the C-terminal domain. The, structure of the human sEH complex with N-cyclohexyl-N'-(iodophenyl)urea, (CIU) has been determined at 2.35 A resolution. Tyr-381 and Tyr-465 donate, hydrogen bonds to the alkylurea carbonyl group of CIU, consistent with the, proposed roles of these residues as proton donors in the first step of, catalysis. The N-terminal domain of mammalian sEH contains a 15 A deep, cleft, but its biological function is unclear. Recent experiments, demonstrate that the N-terminal domain of human sEH catalyzes the, metal-dependent hydrolysis of phosphate esters [Cronin, A., Mowbray, S., Durk, H., Homburg, S., Fleming, I., Fisslthaler, B., Oesch, F., and Arand, M. (2003) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 100, 1552-1557; Newman, J. W., Morisseau, C., Harris, T. R., and Hammock, B. D. (2003) Proc. Natl. Acad., Sci. U.S.A. 100, 1558-1563]. The binding of Mg(2+)-HPO4(2-) to the, N-terminal domain of human sEH in its CIU complex reveals structural, features relevant to those of the enzyme-substrate complex in the, phosphatase reaction.
