Kinetic competence of the cADP-ribose-CD38 complex as an intermediate in the CD38/NAD+ glycohydrolase-catalysed reactions: implication for CD38 signalling.

ABSTRACT: CD38/NAD(+) glycohydrolase is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein widely used to study T- and B-cell activation and differentiation. CD38 is endowed with two different activities: it is a signal transduction molecule and an ectoenzyme that converts NAD(+) into ADP-ribose (NAD(+) glycohydrolase activity) and small proportions of cADP-ribose (cADPR; ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity), a calcium-mobilizing metabolite, which, ultimately, can also be hydrolysed (cADPR hydrolase activity). The relationship between these two properties, and strikingly the requirement for signalling in the formation of free or enzyme-complexed cADPR, is still ill-defined. In the present study we wanted to test whether the CD38-cADPR complex is kinetically competent in the conversion of NAD(+) into the reaction product ADP-ribose. In principle, such a complex could be invoked for cross-talk, via conformational changes, with neighbouring partner(s) of CD38 thus triggering the signalling phenomena. Analysis of the kinetic parameters measured for the CD38/NAD(+) glycohydrolase-catalysed hydrolysis of 2'-deoxy-2'-aminoribo-NAD(+) and ADP-cyclo[N1,C1']-2'-deoxy-2'-aminoribose (slowly hydrolysable analogues of NAD(+) and cADPR respectively) ruled out that the CD38-cADPR complex can accumulate under steady-state conditions. This was borne out by simulation of the prevalent kinetic mechanism of CD38, which involve the partitioning of a common E.ADP-ribosyl intermediate in the formation of the enzyme-catalysed reaction products. Using this mechanism, microscopic rate conditions were found which transform a NAD(+) glycohydrolase into an ADP-ribosyl cyclase. Altogether, the present work shows that if the cross-talk with a partner depends on a conformational change of CD38, this is most probably not attributable to the formation of the CD38-cADPR complex. In line with recent results on the conformational change triggered by CD38 ligands [Berthelier, Laboureau, Boulla, Schuber and Deterre (2000) Eur. J. Biochem. 267, 3056-3064], we believe that the Michaelis CD38-NAD(+) complex could play such a role instead.

Project description:Bovine CD38/NAD(+)glycohydrolase (bCD38) catalyses the hydrolysis of NAD(+) into nicotinamide and ADP-ribose and the formation of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). We solved the crystal structures of the mono N-glycosylated forms of the ecto-domain of bCD38 or the catalytic residue mutant Glu218Gln in their apo state or bound to aFNAD or rFNAD, two 2'-fluorinated analogs of NAD(+). Both compounds behave as mechanism-based inhibitors, allowing the trapping of a reaction intermediate covalently linked to Glu218. Compared to the non-covalent (Michaelis) complex, the ligands adopt a more folded conformation in the covalent complexes. Altogether these crystallographic snapshots along the reaction pathway reveal the drastic conformational rearrangements undergone by the ligand during catalysis with the repositioning of its adenine ring from a solvent-exposed position stacked against Trp168 to a more buried position stacked against Trp181. This adenine flipping between conserved tryptophans is a prerequisite for the proper positioning of the N1 of the adenine ring to perform the nucleophilic attack on the C1' of the ribofuranoside ring ultimately yielding cADPR. In all structures, however, the adenine ring adopts the most thermodynamically favorable anti conformation, explaining why cyclization, which requires a syn conformation, remains a rare alternate event in the reactions catalyzed by bCD38 (cADPR represents only 1% of the reaction products). In the Michaelis complex, the substrate is bound in a constrained conformation; the enzyme uses this ground-state destabilization, in addition to a hydrophobic environment and desolvation of the nicotinamide-ribosyl bond, to destabilize the scissile bond leading to the formation of a ribooxocarbenium ion intermediate. The Glu218 side chain stabilizes this reaction intermediate and plays another important role during catalysis by polarizing the 2'-OH of the substrate NAD(+). Based on our structural analysis and data on active site mutants, we propose a detailed analysis of the catalytic mechanism.
