Structure of the E. coli inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase RgdB in complex with IMP
Structural highlights
FunctionIXTPA_ECOLI Pyrophosphatase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates to their monophosphate derivatives, with a high preference for the non-canonical purine nucleotides XTP (xanthosine triphosphate), dITP (deoxyinosine triphosphate) and ITP (PubMed:12297000, PubMed:17976651). Can also efficiently hydrolyze 2'-deoxy-N-6-hydroxylaminopurine triphosphate (dHAPTP) (PubMed:17090528). Seems to function as a house-cleaning enzyme that removes non-canonical purine nucleotides from the nucleotide pool, thus preventing their incorporation into DNA/RNA and avoiding chromosomal lesions (PubMed:12297000, PubMed:12730170, PubMed:17090528). To a much lesser extent, is also able to hydrolyze GTP, dGTP and dUTP, but shows very low activity toward the canonical nucleotides dATP, dCTP and dTTP and toward 8-oxo-dGTP, purine deoxyribose triphosphate, 2-aminopurine deoxyribose triphosphate and 2,6-diaminopurine deoxyribose triphosphate (PubMed:12297000, PubMed:17090528).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01405][1] [2] [3] [4] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedInosine triphosphate pyrophosphatases, which are ubiquitous house-cleaning enzymes, hydrolyze noncanonical nucleoside triphosphates (inosine triphosphate (ITP) and xanthosine triphosphate (XTP)) and prevent the incorporation of hypoxanthine or xanthine into nascent DNA or RNA. Here we present the 1.5-A-resolution crystal structure of the inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase RdgB from Escherichia coli in a free state and in complex with a substrate (ITP+Ca(2+)) or a product (inosine monophosphate (IMP)). ITP binding to RdgB induced a large displacement of the alpha1 helix, closing the enzyme active site. This positions the conserved Lys13 close to the bridging oxygen between the alpha- and beta-phosphates of the substrate, weakening the P(alpha)-O bond. On the other side of the substrate, the conserved Asp69 is proposed to act as a base coordinating the catalytic water molecule. Our data provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of the substrate selectivity and catalysis of RdgB and other ITPases.
