Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase. 2. Catalytic Mechanism

Abstract: X-ray crystallography, molecular modeling, and site-directed mutagenesis were used to delineate the catalytic mechanism of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP). PNP catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of purine nucleosides to the corresponding purine base and ribose 1-phosphate using a substrate-assisted catalytic mechanism. The proposed transition state (TS) features an oxocarbenium ion that is stabilized by the cosubstrate phosphate dianion which itself functions as part of a catalytic triad (Glu89-His8… Show more

“…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 живых организмах (in vivo), фосфоролиз -доминирующая реакция, благодаря сопряжению с другими ферментами. По-видимому, этим и обьясняется тот факт, что большая часть кинетических данных относится к фосфоролитическим реакциям [75].…”

“…В живых организмах (in vivo), фосфоролиз -доминирующая реакция, благодаря сопряжению с другими ферментами. По-видимому, этим и обьясняется тот факт, что большая часть кинетических данных относится к фосфоролитическим реакциям [75].Имеющиеся литературные данные не дают основание для однозначной трактовки механизма реакции трансрибозилирования (реакция 2). Кинетические исследования, а также применение метода 31 P-ЯМP показали отсутствие промежуточной фосфорилированной и рибозилированной форм фермента, что означает, что реакция 2 протекает в два этапа с образованием промежуточного соединения (d)Rib-1-P за счёт существующих примесей неорганического фосфата.…”
