Crystal Structure of Myo-Inositol 1-Phosphate Synthase From Saccharomyces cerevisiae In Complex With NAD+ and 2-deoxy-D-glucitol 6-(E)-vinylhomophosphonate
Overview
1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate (MIP) synthase catalyzes the conversion of d-glucose 6-phosphate to 1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate, the first and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of all inositol-containing compounds. It involves an oxidation, enolization, intramolecular aldol cyclization, and reduction. Here we present the structure of MIP synthase in complex with NAD(+) and a high-affinity inhibitor, 2-deoxy-d-glucitol 6-(E)-vinylhomophosphonate. This structure reveals interactions between the enzyme active site residues and the inhibitor that are significantly different from that proposed for 2-deoxy-d-glucitol 6-phosphate in the previously published structure of MIP synthase-NAD(+)-2-deoxy-d-glucitol 6-phosphate. There are several other conformational changes in NAD(+) and the enzyme active site as well. Based on the new structural data, we propose a new and completely different mechanism for MIP synthase.
