Crystal structure of Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase in complex with Mycophenolic Acid
Overview
The structure of inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) in complex, with IMP and mycophenolic acid (MPA) has been determined by X-ray, diffraction. IMPDH plays a central role in B and T lymphocyte replication., MPA is a potent IMPDH inhibitor and the active metabolite of an, immunosuppressive drug recently approved for the treatment of allograft, rejection. IMPDH comprises two domains: a core domain, which is an, alpha/beta barrel and contains the active site, and a flanking domain. The, complex, in combination with mutagenesis and kinetic data, provides a, structural basis for understanding the mechanism of IMPDH activity and, indicates that MPA inhibits IMPDH by acting as a replacement for the, nicotinamide portion of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide cofactor and, a catalytic water molecule.
