Replacement of Val3 In Human Thymidylate Synthase Affects Its Kinetic Properties and Intracellular Stability, Complexes of Sperm Whale Myoglobin G65T With Phenol and Ethylene Glycol, and Structure of A Fragment of Human End-Binding Protein 1 (Eb1)
CHAPTER 1: REPLACEMENT OF VAL3 IN HUMAN THYMIDYLATE SYNTHASE (HTS) AFFECTS ITS KINETIC PROPERTIES AND INTRACELLULAR STABILITY. Human and other mammalian thymidylate synthase (TS) enzymes have an N-terminal extension of about 27 amino acids which is not present in bacterial TSs. The extension has bee...

Human and other mammalian thymidylate synthase (TS) enzymes have an N-terminal extension of about 27 amino acids which is not present in bacterial TSs. The extension has been considered to play a primary role in protein turnover but not in catalytic activity. Two mutants, V3L and V3F, have strongly compromised dUMP binding, with Km,app values increased by factors of 47 and 58, respectively. For V3L, this observation can be explained by stabilization of the inactive conformation of loop 181-197, which prevents substrate binding. In the crystal structure of V3L, electron density corresponding to a leucine residue is present in a position which stabilizes loop 181-197 in the inactive conformation. Since this density is not observed in other mutants and all other leucine residues are ordered in this structure, it is likely that this density represents Leu3. In the crystal structure of a binary complex V3F·FdUMP indicates that the high Km,app value is caused by substrate binding in a non- productive, inhibitory site.

Sperm whale myoglobin (Mb) mutants at position 65 were designed to mimic the heme environment of homologous dehaloperoxidase (DHP).
