Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.11Å Ligands: CA, CL, MAN, NAG, OSE, ZN Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function FOLH1_HUMAN Has both folate hydrolase and N-acetylated-alpha-linked-acidic dipeptidase (NAALADase) activity. Has a preference for tri-alpha-glutamate peptides. In the intestine, required for the uptake of folate. In the brain, modulates excitatory neurotransmission through the hydrolysis of the neuropeptide, N-aceylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), thereby releasing glutamate. Isoform PSM-4 and isoform PSM-5 would appear to be physiologically irrelevant. Involved in prostate tumor progression. Also exhibits a dipeptidyl-peptidase IV type activity. In vitro, cleaves Gly-Pro-AMC. 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 Inhibition of glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) has been shown to be neuroprotective in multiple preclinical models in which dysregulated glutamatergic transmission is implicated. Herein, we report crystal structures of the human GCPII complexed with three glutamate mimetics/derivatives, 2-(phosphonomethyl)pentanedioic acid (2-PMPA), quisqualic acid (QA), and L-serine O-sulfate (L-SOS), at 1.72, 1.62, and 2.10 A resolution, respectively. Despite the structural differences between the distal parts of the inhibitors, all three compounds share similar binding modes in the pharmacophore (i.e., S1') pocket of GCPII, where they are stabilized by a combination of polar and van der Waals interactions. The structural diversity of the distal parts of the inhibitors leads to rearrangements of the S1' site that are necessary for efficient interactions between the enzyme and an inhibitor. The set of structures presented here, in conjunction with the available biochemical data, illustrates a flexibility of the GCPII pharmacophore pocket and highlights the structural features required for potent GCPII inhibition. These findings could facilitate the rational structure-based drug design of new GCPII inhibitors in the future.
