THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN HYPOXANTHINE-GUANINE PHOSPHORIBOSYLTRANSFERASE WITH BOUND GMP
Contents |
Overview
The crystal structure of HGPRTase with bound GMP has been determined and, refined to 2.5 A resolution. The enzyme has a core alpha/beta structure, resembling the nucleotide-binding fold of dehydrogenases, and a second, lobe composed of residues from the amino and carboxy termini. The GMP, molecule binds in an anti conformation in a solvent-exposed cleft of the, enzyme. Lys-165, which forms a hydrogen bond to O6 of GMP, appears to be, critical for determining the specificity for guanine and hypoxanthine over, adenine. The location of active site residues also provides evidence for a, possible mechanism for general base-assisted HGPRTase catalysis. A, rationalization of the effects on stability and activity of naturally, occurring single amino acid mutations of HGPRTase is presented, including, a discussion of several mutations at the active site that lead to, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
