CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF AVIAN ATIC, A BIFUNCTIONAL TRANSFORMYLASE AND CYCLOHYDROLASE ENZYME IN PURINE BIOSYNTHESIS AT 1.75 ANG. RESOLUTION
Overview
ATIC, the product of the purH gene, is a 64 kDa bifunctional enzyme that, possesses the final two activities in de novo purine biosynthesis, AICAR, transformylase and IMP cyclohydrolase. The crystal structure of avian ATIC, has been determined to 1.75 A resolution by the MAD method using a, Se-methionine modified enzyme. ATIC forms an intertwined dimer with an, extensive interface of approximately 5,000 A(2) per monomer. Each monomer, is composed of two novel, separate functional domains. The N-terminal, domain (up to residue 199) is responsible for the IMPCH activity, whereas, the AICAR Tfase activity resides in the C-terminal domain (200-593). The, active sites of the IMPCH and AICAR Tfase domains are approximately 50 A, apart, with no structural evidence of a tunnel connecting the two active, sites. The crystal structure of ATIC provides a framework to probe both, catalytic mechanisms and to design specific inhibitors for use in cancer, chemotherapy and inflammation.
