“…Met 181 contacts the purine base, Phe 160 and the hydrophobic side of the ribosyl group. A similar interaction, involving an aromatic residue and methionine, is found in all known nucleoside phosphorylase structures (7,8,(11)(12)(13)(14)28). Strand ␤5 and strand ␤8, which includes Val 179 , are located on the opposite side of the purine base.…”

“…His 5 , Met 181 , and Glu 182 are highly conserved among the hexameric members of the PNP family (7,15). A methionine residue equivalent to Met 181 has been identified in all known nucleoside phosphorylase structures (7,8,(11)(12)(13)(14)28). Interestingly, mutation of the equivalent methionine in human PNP had little affect on its activity (29), despite its high degree of conservation.…”

“…Trimeric PNPs usually have a molecular mass of about 100 kDa. The structures of several trimeric PNPs have been determined (1)(2)(3)(4), and the catalytic mechanism has been well studied; the cleavage reaction is believed to proceed through an S N 1 mechanism with an oxocarbenium nucleoside intermediate (5)(6)(7), with ordered substrate binding, and with product release as the ratelimiting step (8,9). Hexameric PNPs are found only in lower organisms and have broader substrate specificity, accepting both 6-amino and 6-oxopurine nucleosides.…”

“…В этой пространственной группе мономеры тримерной ПНФ связаны через тройную кристаллографическую ось таким образом, что различия между мономерами невозможны. Отсюда следует, что кристаллографическая структура этого фермента не даёт ответа на вопрос об отрицательной кооперативности, неоднородности активных центров, наблюдаемой при связывании некоторых лигандов [45,46]. Это относится и к ПНФ из эритроцитов человека (пространственная группа R32), которая, к сожалению, не позволяет получить кристаллы высокого дифракционного качества.…”
