Calf spleen purine nucleoside phosphorylase: purification, sequence and crystal structure of its complex with an N(7)‐acycloguanosine inhibitor

Abstract: Calf spleen pnrine nucleoside phosphorylase was purified to homogeneity and its amino acid sequence was determined. The complex of the enzyme with an N(7)-acycloguanosine inhibitor crystallized in the cubic space group P213, with unit cell dimension a = 94.02 A and one monomer in the asymmetric crystal unit. The biologically active trimer is formed by the crystallographic three-fold axis. The structure was solved by molecular replacement methods, using the model of the human erythrocyte enzyme, and refined at … Show more

“…I ) , which are known to be required for substrate binding [ l , 6, 341. The sequences and crystallographic structures of the binding sites of the calf spleen [37] and human erythrocyte [38] enzymes display close similarity. The crystallographic structure of a complex of the latter enzyme with ribavirin, a triazole-3-carboxamide riboside competitive inhibitor, has been resolved, and Fig.…”

“…acyclic substituted purines were described in a paper by Bzowska et al 16 The acyclic chain of the analogue 7-[(1,3-hydroxypropyl-2)amino]ethyl guanine is located at the 'non-natural' N 7 position of guanine and inhibits the enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP; purine nucleoside orthophosphate ribosyl transferase).…”
