Here, we report seven crystal complex structures of alpha-MMC with different substrate analogs (adenine, AMP, cAMP, dAMP, ADP, GMP, and xanthosine) at 1.08 A to 1.52 A resolution. These structures reveal that not only adenine, but also guanine and their analogs can effectively bind to alpha-MMC. The side chain of Tyr93 adopts two conformations, serving as a switch to open and close the substrate binding pocket of alpha-MMC. Although adenine, AMP, GMP, and guanine are located in a similar active site in different RIPs, residues involved in the interaction between RIPs and substrate analogs are slightly different. Complex structures of alpha-MMC with different substrate analogs solved in this study provide useful information on its enzymatic mechanisms and may enable the development of new inhibitors to treat the poisoning of alpha-MMC.
