  4. Purine synthesis • Considerably more complex than pyrimidine synthesis • More atoms to condense and two rings to make • More ATP to sacrifice during synthesis • Several synthetase (ligase) reactions require ATP • Based on PRPP, gln, 10-formyl THF, asp Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  5. PRPP + gln to phospho-ribosylamine • PRPP aminated:PRPP + gln  glu + PPi +5-phospho--D-ribosylaminevia glutamine-PRPP amidotransferase • transferase structure • Product is unstable(lasts seconds!) 1 PDB 1ECF120 kDa tetramerdimer shownE.coliEC 2.4.2.14, 2Å Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  6. Phospho-ribosylamine to GAR • Amine condenses with glycine to form glycinamide ribonucleotide (GAR) • ATP hydrolysis drives GAR synthetase reaction to the right 2 PDB 2YRX50 kDa monomerGeobacillus kaustophilusEC 6.3.4.13, 1.9Å Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  7. FGAR Formylation of GAR 3 • 10-formyl THF donates a formyl (-CH=O) group to end nitrogen with the help of GAR transformylase to form formylglycinamide ribonucleotide (FGAR) • Rossmann  PDB 1MEO47 kDa dimerEC 2.1.2.21.72Åhuman Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  8. FGAM FGAR to FGAM • Glutamine sidechain is source of N for C=O exchanging to C=NH via FGAM synthetase to form formylglycinamidine ribonucleotide (FGAM):FGAR + gln + ATP + H2O  FGAM + glu + ADP + Pi 4 PurS component ofFGAM synthetasePDB 1GTD40 kDa tetramerMethanobacterium2.56Å; EC 6.3.5.3 Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  9. Aminoimidazoleribonucleotide FGAM to AIR • Cyclize FGAM to aminoimidazole ribonucleotide • ATP drives the AIR synthetase reaction: • FGAM + ATP + H2O AIR + ADP + Pi • E.C. in Wikipedia was wrong until this morning:it should be 6.3.3.1 5 • PDB 2V9Y147 kDa tetramerdimer shownhuman, 2.1Å Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  10. CAIR AIR to CAIR 6 • AIR is carboxylated;expenditure of an ATP:AIR + HCO3- + ATP  carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide + ADP + Pi + 2H+ • AIR carboxylase • E.coli version is two enzymeseukaryotes havea single enzyme • No cofactors! PDB 2NSH149 kDa octamermonomer shownEC 4.1.1.21, 2.1Å E.coli Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  11. CAIR+asp to SAICAR • CAIR + asp + ATP aminoimidazole succinylocarboxamide ribonucleotide + ADP + Pi • Enzyme is SAICAR synthetase • Domain 1: homolog ofphosphorylasekinase • Domain 2: ATP-binding 7 PDB 2CNQ34 kDamonomeryeast, 1.8ÅEC 6.3.2.6 Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  12. SAICAR to AICAR • SAICAR aminoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide + fumarate • Enzyme is adenylosuccinate lyase • Net result of two reactions is just replacing acid with amide; • That’s like first 2 reactions in urea cycle, except ADP, not AMP, is the product 8 PDB 2PTR, EC 4.3.2.21.85Å, 203 kDa tetramerdimer shown; E.coli Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  13. AICAR to FAICAR • 10-formylTHF donates HC=O:AICAR + 10-formylTHF formamidoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide + THF • Enzyme: AICAR transformylase • Like step 3 • Generally a bifunctional enzyme combined with next step • This part is like cytidine deaminase (see below) 9 PDB 1THZ, 1.8Å130 kDa dimer, chickenEC 2.1.2.3+3.5.4.10 Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  14. FAICAR to IMP • We made it:FAICAR  inosine 5’-monosphosphate + H2O • Bifunctional enzyme; this part is called IMP cyclohydrolase or inosicase • Hydrolase part is like methylglyoxal synthase 10 PDB 1PL0260 kDa tetramerdimer shown; human Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  15. So now we have a purine. What next? • Enzymatic conversions to AMP or GMP;Details on next few slides • AMP and GMP can be further phosphorylated to make ADP, GDP with specific kinases (adenylate kinase and guanylate kinase) • GTP made with broad-spectrum nucleoside diphosphate kinase Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  16. IMP to adenylosuccinate • IMP + aspartate + GTP adenylosuccinate + GDP + Pi • Enzyme is adenylosuccinate synthase • Similar to step 7 in IMP synthesis PDB 2V40, 1.9Å101 kDa dimermonomer shownhumanEC 6.3.4.4 Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  17. Adenylosuccinate to AMP • Adenylosuccinate AMP + fumarate • Like reaction 8 in the IMP pathway; in fact, it uses the same enzyme, adenylosuccinate lyase PDB 2PTR203 kDa tetramerdimer shown; E.coli Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  18. IMP to XMP • IMP + H2O + NAD+Xanthosine monophosphate + NADH + H+ • Enzyme: IMP dehydrogenase • TIM-barrel, aldolase-like protein PDB 1ME8221 kDa tetramer;monomer shownTritrichomonas foetus Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  20. Adenylate kinase • Reminder:ATP + AMP  2 ADP • Metal ions play a role in enzyme structure • Enzymes like this need to shield their active sites from water to avoid pointless hydrolysis of ATP PDB 1ZIN24 kDa monomerBacillus stearothermophilus EC 2.7.4.3 1.6Å Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  21. Guanylate kinase • GMP + ATP GDP + ADP • “P-loop”-containing ATP-binding proteins • Rossmann fold • Often membrane-associated and intimately associated with other functions PDB 2QOR22 kDa monomer EC 2.7.4.8Plasmodium vivax 1.8Å Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  22. Purine control I: IMP level • Note that GTP is a cosubstrate in making AMP from IMP • ATP is a cosubstrate in making GMP from IMP • So this helps balance the 2 products Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  23. Purine control II:feedback inhibition • PRPP synthetase inhibited by purines, but only at unrealistic concentrations of [Pur] • Step 1 (gln-PRPP amidotransferase) is allosterically inhibited by IMP, AMP, GMP • Adenylosuccinate synthetase is inhibited by AMP • XMP and GMP inhibit IMP dehydrogenase Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  24. Making deoxyribonucleotides • Conversions of nucleotides to deoxynucleotides occurs at the diphosphate level • Reichard showed that most organisms have a single ribonucleotide reductase that converts ADP, GDP, CDP, UDP to dADP, dGDP, dCDP, and dUDP • NADPH is the reducing agent Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  25. RNR1PDB 1R1R258 kDa dimerE.coli Ribonucleotide reductase heterotetramer • 2 RNR1 subunits; each has • a helical 220-aa domain • 10-strand 480-aa structure (thiols here) • 5-strand 70-aa structure • 2 RNR2 subunits; each has • A diferric ion center • A stable tyrosyl free radical RNR2PDB 1PJ082 kDa dimerE.coli Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  26. Mechanism of RNR (box 18.3) • Y122 in RNR2 is converted to stable free radical • Radical transmitted to RNR1 cys439 • Cys439 reacts with substrate 3’-OH to form free radical at C3’ • Substrate dehydrates to carbonyl at C3’ and free radical at C2’; S- formed at Cys462 • Disulfide formed between Cys462,Cys225;radical regenerated at Cys439 Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  27. Ribonucleotide reductase: control • ATP, dATP, dTTP, and dGTP act as allosteric modulators by binding to two regulatory sites on the enzyme • Activity site (A) regulates activity of catalytic site • When ATP binds at A, activity goes up • When dATP binds at A, activity inhibited overall • Specificity site (S) controls which substrates can be turned over • ATP at A + ATP or dATP at S : pyrimidines only • dTTP at S : activates reduction of GDP • dGTP at S : activates reduction of ADP Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  28. dUDP to dUMP(for making dTMP) • dTMP formed at monophosphate level(from dUMP) • dUMP derived three ways: • dUDP + ADP  dUMP + ATP • dUDP + ATP  dUTP + ADPdUTP + H2O  dUMP + PPi • dCMP + H2O  dUMP + NH4+ Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  29. 5,10-methylene THF Thymidylate synthase reaction (fig.18.15) • dUMP + 5,10-methyleneTHF dTMP + 7,8-dihydrofolate • Unusual THF reaction in that cofactor gets oxidized as well as giving up a carbon • CH2 from 5,10-methylene group • extra H from C6 • So DHF must be reduced back to THF via DHFR and get its methylene back from SHMT dihydrofolate Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  30. Thymidylate synthase • Generally the controlling step in DNA synthesis because [dTTP] < other [deoxynucleoside triphosphates] • Therefore a target for cancer chemotherapy and other therapies that target rapidly-dividing cells • Enzyme is a 2-layer sandwich PDB 2G8O58 kDa dimerE.coli(with dUMP and cofactor analog) Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  31. Thymidylate synthase and drug design • Both folate analogs and dUMP analogs can interfere with (DHFR  SHMT  dTMP synthase  … ) cycle • 5-fluorouracil is specific to thymidylate synthase Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  32. DHFR • Converts DHF to THF:DHF + NADPH + H+THF + NADP+ • SHMT then converts THF to 5,10-methyleneTHF • 3-layer  sandwich PDB 1KMV20 kDa monomerhuman folate Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  33. DHFR as a drug target • Human DHFR inhibition: kill cancer cells faster than healthy cells • Eukaryotic DHFR also catalyzes folate DHF • Prokaryotic DHFR doesn’t; • DHF derived by another mechanism in bacteria • So there are antibacterials based on the structural differencs between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DHFR Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  34. Special case:protozoan TSynth/DHFR • Bifunctional enzyme: • Thymidylate synthase • Dihydrofolate reductase • Presumably some entropic advantage • Maybe electrostatics too, allowing the negative charges on DHF to tunnel through;but cf. Atreya et al (2003) J.Biol.Chem.278:28901. DHFR-TSPDB 1J3K104 kDa dimerPlasmodium falciparum Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  35. Recovery pathway to dTMP • Deoxythymidine can be phosphorylated by thymidine kinase:deoxythymidine + ATP dTMP + ADP • Labeled thymidine is convenient for monitoring intracellular synthesis of DNA because thymidine enters cells easily PDB 1E2K73 kDa monomerHerpes simplex virus Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  36. Fates of polynucleotides • Nucleic acids hydrolyzed to mononucleotides via nucleases • Mononucleotides are dephosphorylated via nucleotidases and phosphatases • Resulting nucleosides are deglycosylated via nucleosideases or nucleoside phosphorylases • Resulting bases are sent either into salvage pathways or get degraded and excreted Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  37. Salvage pathways • We can describe them, and we will: but why do they matter so much? • They provide energy savings relative to denovo synthesis (think of all the ATP we used in making IMP!) • Considerable medical significance to interference with these pathways • Intracellular nucleic acid bases are usually recycled; dietary bases are usually broken down and excess nitrogen excreted Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  38. Orotate phosphoribosyl transferase • Principal salvage enzyme for pyrimidines • Orotate + PRPP  OMP + PPi • OMP can then reenter UMP synthetic pathway (decarboxylation to UMP, then form UDP and CDP) • Same enzyme can act on other pyrimidines to make nucleotides:Pyr + PRPP  PyrMP + PPi PDB 2PS150 kDa dimerYeastEC 2.4.2.101.75Å Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  39. Pyrimidine interconversions (fig. 18.19) • All phosphorylations & dephosphorylations can and do happen • UTP can be aminated to CTP • CDP and UDP can be reduced to dCDP and dUDP • dCMP can deaminate to dUMP • Cytidine can be converted to uridine • dUMP can be methylated to dTMP Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  40. Purine nucleotide salvage • Two phosphoribosyl transferases convert adenine, guanine, and hypoxanthine to AMP, GMP, and IMP • Adenine phosphoribosyl transferase is specific • HGPRT accepts both hypoxanthine and guanine Hypoxanthine-guaninephosphoribosyl transferasePDB 1FSGEC 2.4.2.8, 1.05Å102 kDa tetramerdimer shownToxoplasma gondii Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  41. Purine Interconnections(fig. 18.18) • All phosphorylations and dephosphorylations can and do occur • ADP and GDP can be reduced to dADP and dGDP • AMP can deaminated to IMP (new) • IMP can be aminated to AMP • IMP can oxidized to XMP • XMP can be aminated to GMP • Guanine, adenine can be phosphoribosylated to GMP and AMP Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  42. Fates of CMP and cytidine • CMP’s phosphate can be hydrolyzed off • That’s followed by deamination of cytidine to make uridine • Catalyzed by cytidine deaminase • Another sandwich protein Cytidine deaminasePDB 2FR566 kDa tetramerMouseEC 3.5.4.5, 1.48Å Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  43. Hydrolysis of U, dU and dT • Glycosidic bond in uridine or thymidine is hydrolyzed by phosphate: • Uridine + Pi -D-ribose-1-P + uracil • Enyzme is uridine phosphorylase • Similar enzyme handles deoxyuridine • Similar reaction using thymidine phosphorylase yields thymine + -D-deoxyribose-1-P Uridine phosphorylasePDB 1RXYEC 2.4.2.3, 1.7Å167 kDa hexamer Dimer shown E.coli Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  44. Uracil to acetyl CoA;thymine to succinyl CoA • Reduced to dihydrouracil and dihydrothymine • Hydrated and ring-opened toureidopropionate or ureidoisobutyrate • Eliminate bicarbonate and ammonium to yield -alanine or -aminoisobutyrate • Several reactions from there to acetyl CoA and succinyl CoA Dihydro-pyrimidinasePDB 1GKPEC 3.5.2.21.29Å302 kDa hexamerThermus Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  45. Uric acid Purine catabolism • Nucleoside or deoxynucleoside + phosphate  base + (D)-ribose 1-P • Hypoxanthine and guanine both lead to uric acid as a product • Uric acid is the final excreted nitrogenous compound in primates, birds, and some reptiles • Other organisms catabolize it further Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  46. Uric acid Uric acid to allantoin • Urate oxidase:urate + 2H2O + O2 allantoin + H2O2 + CO2 • That’s the final product in a lot of mammals, turtles, some insects, gastropods • Other organisms catabolize allantoin further Allantoin Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  47. Urate oxidase • Catalyzes the decarboxylation of uric acid to allantoin Urate oxidase134 kDa tetramermonomer shownEC 1.7.3.3, 1.5ÅAspergillus flavus Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  48. Lesch-Nyhan syndrome Michael Lesch William Nyhan • Complete lack of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase • So hypoxanthine and guanine are degraded to uric acid rather than being built back up into IMP and GMP • Leads to dangerous buildup of uric acid in nervous tissue • Neurological effects are severe and poorly understood Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  49. Sodium urate Gout Sodium urate crystals accumulating • Accumulation of sodium urate and uric acid, both of which are only moderately soluble • Arises from inadequate (~10%) functionality of HGPRT, so that urate accumulates in peripheral tissues, particularly the feet Benjamin Franklin(celebrated gout sufferer) Nucleotide metab 2+replication

  50. DNA structure • We’ll take a brief sojourn into 3-D structure of DNA • You’ve been told about Watson-Crick base pairing and the double helix since high school • Here we’ll examine the higher levels of structure, including the proteins that enable those higher levels to happen Nucleotide metab 2+replication
