Partial purification and properties of purine nucleoside phosphorylase from rabbit erythrocytes.

ABSTRACT: 1. The partial purification of purine nucleoside phosphorylase from rabbit erythrocytes is described. 2. Analytical and preparative isoelectric focusing gave a pI value for the enzyme of 4.65. 3. Gel-chromatography and sucrose-density-gradient-centrifugation techniques gave estimates of the molecular weight in the range 75000-83000. 4. Lineweaver-Burk plots of kinetic data were non-linear at high inosine concentrations. Extrapolation of the linear part of such plots yielded a Km value for inosine of about 70 micrometer for the rabbit erythrocyte and liver enzymes. 5. A Hill interaction coefficient of 0.75 was obtained, suggesting negative co-operativity with respect to the binding of inosine. 6. Treatment of the enzyme with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) caused partial inactivation, and subsequent Lineweaver-Burk plots with inosine as substrate displayed complete linearity, with an increase in Km value for inosine to 200 micrometer. 7. Starch-gel electrophoresis did not reveal the presence of secondary isoenzymes; all tissue extracts examined gave electrophoretic patterns similar to those obtained with the partially purified enzyme from erythrocytes. 8. Results of hybridization studies with nucleoside phosphorylase from human foetal liver suggest that the rabbit enzyme is also a trimer.

Rabbit erythrocyte purine nucleoside phosphorylase. Differential-inactivation studies.

Project description:1. Qualitative studies on the stability of rabbit erythrocyte purine nucleoside phosphorylase showed a marked decrease in the susceptibility of the enzyme to thermal inactivation and digestion by proteinases of different specificities in response to certain of its substrates. 2. The extent to which inosine stabilizes the enzyme against thermal and proteolytic inactivation is related in a quantitative manner to the concentration of this substrate; it is proposed that differences in the rates of inactivation of the enzyme may reflect substrate-induced conformational changes in the enzyme structure that could alter the binding properties of the enzyme in a kinetically significant way. 3. A synergistic effect in the stabilization of the enzyme is observed in response to both substrates, inosine and phosphate, when the enzyme is inactivated with Pronase. 4. In the presence of substrate an increased rate of inactivation after reaction with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) is reported. 5. Differential-inactivation studies were also carried out with calf spleen purine nucleoside phosphorylase, and the results are discussed in relation to the kinetic properties displayed by this enzyme.

Rabbit erythrocyte purine nucleoside phosphorylase. Initial-velocity studies.

Project description:1. Concave-downward double-reciprocal plots were obtained for rabbit erythrocyte purine nucleoside phosphorylase when the concentration of Pi was varied over a wide range at a fixed saturating concentration of either inosine or deoxyinosine. Similar behaviour was also displayed by the calf spleen enzyme. 2. The degree of curvature of double-reciprocal plots was greatly modified by the presence of SO42-, introduced into the assay mixture with the linking enzyme xanthine oxidase; competitive inhibition by SO42- was observed over a narrow range of high Pi concentrations. 3. Partial inactivation with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) resulted in a marked alteration in the kinetic properties of the enzyme when Pi was the variable substrate. 4. Initial-velocity data are expressed in the form of Hill plots, and the significance of such plots is discussed.

Structure of grouper iridovirus purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Project description:Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of purine ribonucleosides to the corresponding free bases and ribose 1-phosphate. The crystal structure of grouper iridovirus PNP (givPNP), corresponding to the first PNP gene to be found in a virus, was determined at 2.4 A resolution. The crystals belonged to space group R3, with unit-cell parameters a = 193.0, c = 105.6 A, and contained four protomers per asymmetric unit. The overall structure of givPNP shows high similarity to mammalian PNPs, having an alpha/beta structure with a nine-stranded mixed beta-barrel flanked by a total of nine alpha-helices. The predicted phosphate-binding and ribose-binding sites are occupied by a phosphate ion and a Tris molecule, respectively. The geometrical arrangement and hydrogen-bonding patterns of the phosphate-binding site are similar to those found in the human and bovine PNP structures. The enzymatic activity assay of givPNP on various substrates revealed that givPNP can only accept 6-oxopurine nucleosides as substrates, which is also suggested by its amino-acid composition and active-site architecture. All these results suggest that givPNP is a homologue of mammalian PNPs in terms of amino-acid sequence, molecular mass, substrate specificity and overall structure, as well as in the composition of the active site.

A beta-fluoroamine inhibitor of purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Project description:The potent immucillin purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP ) inhibitors F-DADMe-ImmH [(3S,4S)-3], and [(3R,4R)-3] are synthesized in seven steps. Cycloaddition to a fluoroalkene and an enzymic resolution are the key features of the construction of the fluoropyrrolidines 11, from which the immucillins are assembled by use of a three-component Mannich reaction. Slow-onset binding constants (Ki(*)) for [(3S,4S)-3] and [(3R,4R)-3] with human PNP are 0.032 and 1.82 nM, respectively. F-DADMe-ImmH [(3S,4S)-3] exhibits oral availability in mice at doses as low as 0.2 mg/kg.

Remote mutations and active site dynamics correlate with catalytic properties of purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Project description:It has been found that with mutation of two surface residues (Lys(22) --> Glu and His(104) --> Arg) in human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (hPNP), there is an enhancement of catalytic activity in the chemical step. This is true although the mutations are quite remote from the active site, and there are no significant changes in crystallographic structure between the wild-type and mutant active sites. We propose that dynamic coupling from the remote residues to the catalytic site may play a role in catalysis, and it is this alteration in dynamics that causes an increase in the chemical step rate. Computational results indicate that the mutant exhibits stronger coupling between promotion of vibrations and the reaction coordinate than that found in native hPNP. Power spectra comparing native and mutant proteins show a correlation between the vibrations of Immucillin-G (ImmG):O5'...ImmG:N4' and H257:Ndelta...ImmG:O5' consistent with a coupling of these motions. These modes are linked to the protein promoting vibrations. Stronger coupling of motions to the reaction coordinate increases the probability of reaching the transition state and thus lowers the activation free energy. This motion has been shown to contribute to catalysis. Coincident with the approach to the transition state, the sum of the distances of ImmG:O4'...ImmG:O5'...H257:Ndelta became smaller, stabilizing the oxacarbenium ion formed at the transition state. Combined results from crystallography, mutational analysis, chemical kinetics, and computational analysis are consistent with dynamic compression playing a significant role in forming the transition state. Stronger coupling of these pairs is observed in the catalytically enhanced mutant enzyme. That motion and catalysis are enhanced by mutations remote from the catalytic site implicates dynamic coupling through the protein architecture as a component of catalysis in hPNP.

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency in two unrelated Saudi patients.

Project description:Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that results in combined immunodeficiency, neurologic dysfunction and autoimmunity. PNP deficiency has never been reported from Saudi Arabia or in patients with an Arabic ethnic background. We report on two Saudi girls with PNP deficiency. Both showed severe lymphopenia and neurological involvement. Sequencing of the PNP gene of one girl revealed a novel missense mutation Pro146>Leu in exon 4 due to a change in the codon from CCT>CTT. Expression of PNP (146L) cDNA in E coli indicated that the mutation greatly reduced, but did not completely eliminate PNP activity.

Inhibition and structure of Toxoplasma gondii purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Project description:The intracellular pathogen Toxoplasma gondii is a purine auxotroph that relies on purine salvage for proliferation. We have optimized T. gondii purine nucleoside phosphorylase (TgPNP) stability and crystallized TgPNP with phosphate and immucillin-H, a transition-state analogue that has high affinity for the enzyme. Immucillin-H bound to TgPNP with a dissociation constant of 370 pM, the highest affinity of 11 immucillins selected to probe the catalytic site. The specificity for transition-state analogues indicated an early dissociative transition state for TgPNP. Compared to Plasmodium falciparum PNP, large substituents surrounding the 5'-hydroxyl group of inhibitors demonstrate reduced capacity for TgPNP inhibition. Catalytic discrimination against large 5' groups is consistent with the inability of TgPNP to catalyze the phosphorolysis of 5'-methylthioinosine to hypoxanthine. In contrast to mammalian PNP, the 2'-hydroxyl group is crucial for inhibitor binding in the catalytic site of TgPNP. This first crystal structure of TgPNP describes the basis for discrimination against 5'-methylthioinosine and similarly 5'-hydroxy-substituted immucillins; structural differences reflect the unique adaptations of purine salvage pathways of Apicomplexa.

Structure of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (DeoD) from Bacillus anthracis.

Project description:Protein structures from the causative agent of anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) are being determined as part of a structural genomics programme. Amongst initial candidates for crystallographic analysis are enzymes involved in nucleotide biosynthesis, since these are recognized as potential targets in antibacterial therapy. Purine nucleoside phosphorylase is a key enzyme in the purine-salvage pathway. The crystal structure of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (DeoD) from B. anthracis has been solved by molecular replacement at 2.24 A resolution and refined to an R factor of 18.4%. This is the first report of a DeoD structure from a Gram-positive bacterium.

Efficient Synthesis of Purine Nucleoside Analogs by a New Trimeric Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase from Aneurinibacillus migulanus AM007.

Project description:Purine nucleoside phosphorylases (PNPs) are promising biocatalysts for the synthesis of purine nucleoside analogs. Although a number of PNPs have been reported, the development of highly efficient enzymes for industrial applications is still in high demand. Herein, a new trimeric purine nucleoside phosphorylase (AmPNP) from Aneurinibacillus migulanus AM007 was cloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The AmPNP showed good thermostability and a broad range of pH stability. The enzyme was thermostable below 55 °C for 12 h (retaining nearly 100% of its initial activity), and retained nearly 100% of the initial activity in alkaline buffer systems (pH 7.0-9.0) at 60 °C for 2 h. Then, a one-pot, two-enzyme mode of transglycosylation reaction was successfully constructed by combining pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (BbPyNP) derived from Brevibacillus borstelensis LK01 and AmPNP for the production of purine nucleoside analogs. Conversions of 2,6-diaminopurine ribonucleoside (1), 2-amino-6-chloropurine ribonucleoside (2), and 6-thioguanine ribonucleoside (3) synthesized still reached >90% on the higher concentrations of substrates (pentofuranosyl donor: purine base; 20:10 mM) with a low enzyme ratio of BbPyNP: AmPNP (2:20 ?g/mL). Thus, the new trimeric AmPNP is a promising biocatalyst for industrial production of purine nucleoside analogs.
