CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF TRICHOSANTHIN-NADPH COMPLEX AT 1.7 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION REVEALS ACTIVE-SITE ARCHITECTURE
Overview
We describe here the crystal structure of the trichosanthin-NADPH complex, determined at a resolution of 1.7 A. The adenine base stacks between Tyr, 70 and Tyr 111. Arg 163, Glu 160 and Tyr 70 form hydrogen bonds to N(3), O(3') and, through a water molecule, to N(9) of adenosine, respectively., This is the first high resolution structure of a complex between a, ribosome-inactivating protein and a substrate analogue, in which the, electron density of the N-glycosidic bond is well defined and the, preassociated water, thought to be responsible for hydrolyzing the N-C, bond, is also explicitly elucidated.
