X-ray structure of human glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) in complex with a inhibitor RNA 2-19-1
Structural highlights
FunctionFOLH1_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. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe design and synthesis of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligands derived from 2-aminoadipic acid, a building block that has not previously been used to construct PSMA ligands, are reported. The effects of both the linker length and of an N-substituent of our PSMA ligands were probed, and X-ray structures of five of these ligands bound to PSMA were obtained. Among the ligands disclosed herein, 13b showed the highest inhibitory activity for PSMA. As ligand 13b can readily be radiolabeled since its fluorine atom is adjacent to the nitrogen atom of its pyridine ring, the use of this and related compounds as theranostics can be pursued. 2-Aminoadipic Acid-C(O)-Glutamate Based Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Ligands for Potential Use as Theranostics.,Nakajima R, Novakova Z, Tueckmantel W, Motlova L, Barinka C, Kozikowski AP ACS Med Chem Lett. 2018 Oct 24;9(11):1099-1104. doi:, 10.1021/acsmedchemlett.8b00318. eCollection 2018 Nov 8.
