Catalyzes the biosynthesis of deoxyribonucleotides from the corresponding ribonucleotides.[RuleBase:RU003410] Publication Abstract from PubMed The high fidelity of DNA replication and repair is attributable, in part, to the allosteric regulation of ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) that maintains proper deoxynucleotide pool sizes and ratios in vivo. In class Ia RNRs, ATP (stimulatory) and dATP (inhibitory) regulate activity by binding to the ATP-cone domain at the N terminus of the large alpha subunit and altering the enzyme's quaternary structure. Class Ib RNRs, in contrast, have a partial cone domain and have generally been found to be insensitive to dATP inhibition. An exception is the Bacillus subtilis Ib RNR, which we recently reported to be inhibited by physiological concentrations of dATP. Here, we demonstrate that the alpha subunit of this RNR contains tightly bound deoxyadenosine 5'-monophosphate (dAMP) in its N-terminal domain and that dATP inhibition of CDP reduction is enhanced by its presence. X-ray crystallography reveals a previously unobserved (noncanonical) alpha2 dimer with its entire interface composed of the partial N-terminal cone domains, each binding a dAMP molecule. Using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we show that this noncanonical alpha2 dimer is the predominant form of the dAMP-bound alpha in solution and further show that addition of dATP leads to the formation of larger oligomers. Based on this information, we propose a model to describe the mechanism by which the noncanonical alpha2 inhibits the activity of the B. subtilis Ib RNR in a dATP- and dAMP-dependent manner. An endogenous dAMP ligand in Bacillus subtilis class Ib RNR promotes assembly of a noncanonical dimer for regulation by dATP.,Parker MJ, Maggiolo AO, Thomas WC, Kim A, Meisburger SP, Ando N, Boal AK, Stubbe J Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2018 Apr 30. pii: 1800356115. doi:, 10.1073/pnas.1800356115.
