چکیده
The complex of Lactobacillus casei dihydrofolate reductase with trimethoprim and NADP+ exists in solution as a mixture of approximately equal amounts of two slowly interconverting conformational states [Gronenborn, A., Birdsall, B., Hyde, E. I., Roberts, G. C. K., Feeney, J., & Burgen, A. S. V. (1981) Mol. Pharmacol. 20, 145]. These have now been further characterized by multinuclear NMR experiments, and a partial structural model has been proposed. 1H NMR spectra at 500 MHz show that the environments of six of the seven histidine residues differ between the two conformations. The characteristic 1H and 31P chemical shifts of nuclei of the coenzyme in the two conformations of the complex are identical in analogous complexes formed with a number of trimethoprim analogues, indicating that the nature of the two conformations is the same in each case. The pyrophosphate 31P resonances have been assigned to the two conformations, and integration of the 31P spectrum shows that the ratio of conformation I to conformation II varies from 0.4 to 2.3 in the complexes with the various trimethoprim analogues, the ratio for the trimethoprim complex itself being 1.2. Transferred NOE experiments, together with the 1H and 13C chemical shifts, indicate that in conformation II of the complex the nicotinamide ring of the coenzyme has swung away from the enzyme surface into solution; this is made possible by changes in the conformation of the pyrophosphate moiety. In conformation I, by contrast, the nicotinamide ring remains bound to the enzyme. 13C and 15N experiments show that trimethoprim is protonated on N1 in both conformations of the ternary complex. Analysis of the 1H chemical shifts of trimethoprim in terms of ring current effects shows that in conformation I of the ternary complex trimethoprim retains the same conformation as in its binary complex, but 13C, 15N, and 19F [using 2,4-diamino-5-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-fluoro-benzyl)pyrimidine] experiments show that the environment of both the pyrimidine ring and benzyl ring is affected by the proximity of the coenzyme. Less information is available about the conformation of the inhibitor in conformation II of the complex, but its environment is similar to that in the binary enzyme-inhibitor complex. The implications of the existence of these two conformations of the enzyme for understanding cooperativity in binding between NADP+ and trimethoprim are briefly discussed.

NMR measurements have been used to investigate rates of ring-flipping and the activation parameters for the trimethoxybenzyl ring of the antibacterial drug trimethoprim (TMP) bound to Lactobacillus casei dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) for a series of ternary complexes formed with analogues of the coenzyme NADPH. Rates were obtained at several temperatures from line shape analyses ((13)C-edited ...

The Lactobacillus casei dihydrofolate reductase-folateNADP+ complex is shown by ‘H and 13C NMR to exist in three interconverting conformational states, I, IIa, and IIb. The proportions of the three states, as estimated from the intensities of the three separate 13C resonances observed in the complex containing [3-~arboxamido-’~C]NADP+, are pH dependent. State I predominates at low pH and states...

The effects of ligand binding on antibody complex formation of Lactobacillus casei dihydrofolate reductase have been investigated. Binary complexes containing either substrate and inhibitors or NADP+ and NADPH together with ternary complexes containing inhibitors and coenzyme were examined. Whereas substrate and inhibitor binding alone show no effect, the binding of coenzyme reduces antibody co...

In order to examine the origins of the large positive cooperativity (ΔG(0)(coop) = -2.9 kcal mol(-1)) of trimethoprim (TMP) binding to a bacterial dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in the presence of NADPH, we have determined and compared NMR solution structures of L. casei apo DHFR and its binary and ternary complexes with TMP and NADPH and made complementary thermodynamic measurements. The DHFR ...
