Structure and Substrate-binding Mechanism of Human Ap4A Hydrolase

Abstract: Asymmetric diadenosine 5,5ٟ-P 1 ,P 4 -tetraphosphate (Ap 4 A) hydrolases play a major role in maintaining homeostasis by cleaving the metabolite diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap 4 A) back into ATP and AMP. The NMR solution structures of the 17-kDa human asymmetric Ap 4 A hydrolase have been solved in both the presence and absence of the product ATP. The adenine moiety of the nucleotide predominantly binds in a ring stacking arrangement equivalent to that observed in the x-ray structure of the homologue from Caen… Show more

“…However, less attention has been focused on residues involved in substrate binding. 25) The aromatic residues, which stack one substrate adenosine moiety between them, are highly conserved in structure-based amino acid sequence alignments of animal and plant Ap 4 A hydrolases, 17) suggesting that both residues have important effects on substrate binding. The importance of stacking residues for substrate binding in C. elegans has been previously confirmed by replacing Tyr121 by Ala, which led to an 8-fold increase in wild-type K m value.…”

“…Homology Modeling A comparison of the three dimensional structures of human (as observed in the NMR structure) 17) and P. falciparum (as predicted from protein modeling) Ap 4 A hydrolases indicated an overall similarity between both enzymes (data not shown), with an interesting difference at the adenosine binding site. In the human enzyme, the adenosine moiety is stacked between two phenyl rings of Tyr87 and Phe133 leaving a small space, while the adenosine moiety of the enzyme of P. falciparum lies between the phenyl ring of Tyr87 on one side and Pro133 on other side, leaving a larger space (Fig.…”

“…According to EASE, the GO categories 'nucleotide/nucleic acid metabolism,' 'RNA metabolism,' 'DNA repair,' and 'response to stress' were overrepresented relative to chance in the gene set highly expressed in tumours with CR at cycle 8 (Figure 2, bottom gene dendrogram branch). Interestingly, the complete responders at cycle 8 showed high expression of NUDT2, which is not only involved in nucleotide metabolism but may also promote apoptosis (Vartanian Swarbrick et al, 2005). Supplementary Figure 2 shows the hierarchical clustering of tumours using the 66-gene set predictive of overall CR (88% accuracy in the 10-fold CV analysis).…”
