POADS is characterized by severe micrognathia, cleft lip and/or palate, hypoplasia or aplasia of the posterior elements of the limbs, coloboma of the eyelids and supernumerary nipples. POADS is a very rare disorder: only 2 multiplex families, each consisting of 2 affected siblings born to unaffected, nonconsanguineous parents, have been described among a total of around 30 reported cases. Function PYRD_HUMAN Catalyzes the conversion of dihydroorotate to orotate with quinone as electron acceptor. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) represents an important target for the treatment of hyperproliferative and inflammatory diseases. In the cell DHODH catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. DHODH inhibition results in beneficial immunosuppressant and antiproliferative effects in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Here, we present high-resolution X-ray structures of human DHODH in complex with a novel class of low molecular weight compounds that inhibit the enzyme in the nanomolar range. Some compounds showed an interesting dual binding mode within the same cocrystal strongly depending on the nature of chemical substitution. Measured in vitro activity data correlated with the prevailing mode of binding and explained the observed structure-activity relationship. Additionally, the X-ray data confirmed the competitive nature of the inhibitors toward the putative ubiquinone binding site and will guide structure-based design and synthesis of molecules with higher activity.
