X-ray structure of the adduct formed upon reaction of the diiodido analogue of picoplatin with human serum albumin
Structural highlights
DiseaseALBU_HUMAN Defects in ALB are a cause of familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH) [MIM:103600. FDH is a form of euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia that is due to increased affinity of ALB for T(4). It is the most common cause of inherited euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia in Caucasian population.[1] [2] [3] [4] FunctionALBU_HUMAN Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc.[5] Publication Abstract from PubMedHere we investigated cytotoxicity and DNA and protein binding of an iodido analog of picoplatin, the cis-ammine-diiodido(2-methylpyridine)platinum(II) complex (I-picoplatin). I-picoplatin (IC(50) = 3.7-12.4 muM) outperforms picoplatin (IC(50) = 11.8-22.6 muM) in the human cancer cell lines used and shows a greater ability to overcome the cisplatin resistance of A2780 ovarian cancer cells than does picoplatin. I-picoplatin also induces different cell cycle changes (reduced S-phase fraction and an increase in the G2/M phase arrest) in HeLa cervical carcinoma cells compared to both picoplatin and cisplatin. Binding of the metal compound to DNA model systems was investigated by ethidium bromide displacement assay and circular dichroism. Its reactivity with lysozyme (HEWL) and pancreatic RNase A was studied by X-ray diffraction and mass spectrometry experiments. I-picoplatin binds the DNA double helix and is able to retain the 2-methylpyridine ligand and at least one of the two iodido ligands when bound to the two proteins. Various Pt-containing moieties, including one based on the isomerized structure of I-picoplatin, coordinate the His and Met residues. A low-resolution structure of the I-picoplatin/human serum albumin (HSA) adduct has also been solved. The side chains of His146, Met289, and Met329 are the primary binding sites of the I-picoplatin moieties on HSA.
