Abstract

In this study we present the identification and characterization of the enzyme involved in the N6-cyclopropyl-2,6-diamino-9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethyl]purine (N6-cyclopropyl-PMEDAP) conversion to biologically active 9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethyl]guanine (PMEG) as well as abacavir 5'-phosphate to carbovir 5'-phosphate. This enzyme was purified from rat liver to homogeneity; it appears to be composed from six 42 kDa subunits and its native form has the molecular weight 260 kDa. This so far unknown enzyme catalyzes conversion of both N6-methyl-AMP and N6-methyl-dAMP to IMP and/or dIMP, respectively. The enzyme acts as 6-(N-substituted amino)purine 5'-nucleotide aminohydrolase with the reaction mechanism very similar to AMP deaminase. The enzyme does not deaminate AMP and dAMP, or the corresponding nucleosides. It is inhibited by deoxycoformycin 5'-phosphate but not by deoxycoformycin or erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine (EHNA).
