چکیده

We report the crystallographic structures of the potent phosphoantigens Phosphostim (the bromohydrin of isopentenyl pyrophosphate) and E-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate bound to the mevalonate pathway enzyme isopentenyl pyrophosphate/dimethylallyl pyrophosphate isomerase (IPPI). Racemic Phosphostim forms covalent complexes with IPPI: a 4-thioether with C67 and a 4-ester with E116. Only the E116 ester forms with the chiral species, S-Phosphostim, with the w.t. enzyme, while the C67 thioether forms with a mutant Y104F IPPI. The potent phosphoantigen HMBPP also binds to IPPI, but is only a weak ( approximately 50 muM) inhibitor. These results strongly support an SN2 reaction for inhibition of IPPI by Phosphostim, in contrast to the SN1 or concerted type of reaction found with epoxide inhibitors, which react at C-3, and are of general interest in the context of the development of novel mevalonate pathway inhibitors. They also provide clues as to the nature of the binding site of synthetic phosphoantigens in gammadelta T cell activation. In particular, both bromohydrin and epoxy phosphoantigens are potent, irreversible inhibitors of IPPI while HMBPP is only a weak inhibitor, ruling out an IPPI or IPPI-like target for HMBPP in gammadelta T cell activation.

Numerous reports on the intermediate reactions in the biosynthesis of terpenoids were published after the characterization of mevalonic acid (1, 2) and the establishment of its conversion to squalene (3-8), cholesterol (9, lo), carotenes (ll-14), and rubber (15-17). These reports established the conversion of mevalonic acid to mevalonic 5-phosphate, mevalonic pyrophosphate, and A3-isopentenyl p...

The position of mevalonic acid and isopentenyl pyrophosphate (3 methylbut 3 enyl pyrophosphate) as key intermediates in the biosynthesis of isoprenoid compounds is now firmly established, as also is the route by which mevalonic acid is converted into isopentenyl pyrophosphate. This transformation occurs through three ATP-dependent steps with the intermediate formation of mevalonate 5-phosphate ...

Crystal structures of human IPP isomerase: new insights into the catalytic mechanism.

Type I isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP): dimethylally diphosphate (DMAPP) isomerase is an essential enzyme in human isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway. It catalyzes isomerization of the carbon-carbon double bonds in IPP and DMAPP, which are the basic building blocks for the subsequent biosynthesis. We have determined two crystal structures of human IPP isomerase I (hIPPI) under different crystallizat...
