Structural highlights
Function[ADA_MOUSE] Catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of adenosine and 2-deoxyadenosine. Plays an important role in purine metabolism and in adenosine homeostasis. Modulates signaling by extracellular adenosine, and so contributes indirectly to cellular signaling events. Acts as a positive regulator of T-cell coactivation, by binding DPP4. Its interaction with DPP4 regulates lymphocyte-epithelial cell adhesion (By similarity). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe refined 2.4-A structure of adenosine deaminase, recently discovered to be a zinc metalloenzyme [Wilson, D. K., Rudolph, F. B., & Quiocho, F. A. (1991) Science 252, 1278-1284], complexed with the ground-state analog 1-deazaadenosine shows the mode of binding of the analog and, unexpectedly, a zinc-activated water (hydroxide). This structure of a pre-transition-state mimic, combined with that previously determined for the complex with 6(R)-hydroxy-1,6-dihydropurine ribonucleoside, a nearly ideal transition-state analog, sheds new understanding of the precise stereospecificity and hydrolytic catalysis of an important and well-characterized member of a large group of zinc metalloenzymes. As both of these excellent mimics were generated in the active site, they demonstrate a powerful means of dissecting the course of an enzymatic reaction by direct crystallographic analysis.
