The active site of ribonuclease A from the crystallographic studies of ribonuclease-A-inhibitor complexes

European Journal of Biochemistry

Abstract

The results of X-ray analyses of three ribonuclease-A-nucleotide complexes, at 2.3 A, are reported. A modified purine mononucleotide, 8-oxo-guanosine 2'-phosphate in a syn conformation, binds at the pyrimidine-binding site of the catalytic cleft. Solvent molecules are expelled from the active site due to inhibitor binding. The positions of the side-chains of the active-site residues Gln-11, His-12 and Thr-45 are well defined and do not alter on inhibitor binding. The mobility of Lys-41 is greatly reduced in the protein-nucleotide complexes and the terminal amino group interacts directly with the 2'-phosphate group of the nucleotides. In the complex of the enzyme with a modified pyrimidine, cytidine-N(3)-oxide 2'-phosphate, His-119 is stabilised in the minor site of the native protein [Borkakoti, N., Moss, D.S. and Palmer, R.A. (1982) Acta Crystallogr. B38, 2210-2217], while in the protein-purine derivative the imidazole group is located in the major site. Inhibitor binding induces movements in the side-chains of Lys-7 and Lys-66 which also modify the conformation of the active-site cleft of ribonuclease A.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
