Structure and Functional Characterization of Human Aspartate Transcarbamoylase, the Target of the Anti-tumoral Drug PALA

Abstract: CAD, the multienzymatic protein that initiates and controls de novo synthesis of pyrimidines in animals, associates through its aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) domain into particles of 1.5 MDa. Despite numerous structures of prokaryotic ATCases, we lack structural information on the ATCase domain of CAD. Here, we report the structure and functional characterization of human ATCase, confirming the overall similarity with bacterial homologs. Unexpectedly, human ATCase exhibits cooperativity effects that red… Show more

“…The relative orientation of the domains is similar to the open conformation observed in other ATCs crystallized without ligands ( Supplementary Fig. 3) 26,28,34 . In addition, atATC has the CP-loop (aa 156-169) and Asp-loop (aa 309-332) ( Fig.…”

“…The substoichiometric binding of PALA is remarkable, since other ATC structures proved the binding of three molecules of PALA per trimer 28,[38][39][40][41] and the interactions with the transitionstate analog are virtually identical to those observed in atATC ( Fig. 3d and Supplementary Fig.…”

“…To confirm that all four enzymatic activities of CAD were needed for de novo pyrimidine synthesis and cell growth in absence of uridine, we measured the proliferation of CAD-KO cells transfected with GFP-CAD bearing well-known inactivating mutations for each activity (Figure 2g). The transfected inactivated variants in the SYN (p.H627N, p.E682Q) 13,14 , DHO (p.D1686N) 15 and ATC (p.R2024Q) 7,16 domains failed to rescue the growth of CAD-KO cells. In turn, the GLN inactive mutant (p.C252S) 17 showed a partial rescue, with transfected cells doubling every ~2.5 days, suggesting that free-ammonia can, to some extent, contribute to the synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate (Figure 1).…”
