CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF E. COLI GTP CYCLOHYDROLASE II IN COMPLEX WITH GTP ANALOGUE, GMPCPP, AND ZINC
Overview
GTP cyclohydrolase II converts GTP to, 2,5-diamino-6-beta-ribosyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinone 5'-phosphate, formate and, pyrophosphate, the first step in riboflavin biosynthesis. The essential, role of riboflavin in metabolism and the absence of GTP cyclohydrolase II, in higher eukaryotes makes it a potential novel selective antimicrobial, drug target. GTP cyclohydrolase II catalyzes a distinctive overall, reaction from GTP cyclohydrolase I; the latter converts GTP to, dihydroneopterin triphosphate, utilized in folate and tetrahydrobiopterin, biosynthesis. The structure of GTP cyclohydrolase II determined at 1.54-A, resolution reveals both a different protein fold to GTP cyclohydrolase I, and distinctive molecular recognition determinants for GTP; although in, both enzymes there is a bound ...
