STRUCTURE OF VIRAL FLAVIN-DEPENDANT THYMIDYLATE SYNTHASE THYX

Overview

By using biochemical and structural analyses, we have investigated the, catalytic mechanism of the recently discovered flavin-dependent, thymidylate synthase ThyX from Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus-1, (PBCV-1). Site-directed mutagenesis experiments have identified several, residues implicated in either NADPH oxidation or deprotonation activity of, PBCV-1 ThyX. Chemical modification by diethyl pyrocarbonate and mass, spectroscopic analyses identified a histidine residue (His53) crucial for, NADPH oxidation and located in the vicinity of the redox active N-5 atom, of the FAD ring system. Moreover, we observed that the conformation of, active site key residues of PBCV-1 ThyX differs from earlier reported ThyX, structures, suggesting structural changes during catalysis. Steady-state, kinetic analyses support a reaction mechanism where ThyX catalysis, proceeds via formation of distinct ternary complexes without formation of, a methyl enzyme intermediate.
