项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objectives of this research are to determine the roles of protein structure, flexibility, adaptability and dynamics in enzyme catalysis. The overall hypothesis is that residues at or distant from the active site contribute to catalysis by affecting protein motions and fluidity, conformational changes, and subunit interactions. Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase is a good system for studying structural and dynamics effects on catalysis. Three-dimensional structures of various complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography for two conformational states, and rate and dissociation constants for each step in the mechanism, including the chemical step (hydride transfer), can be estimated from steady-state and transient kinetics. Site-directed mutagenesis will be used to substitute amino acid residues in different regions of the enzyme, and the effects on the catalytic mechanism, structure and dynamics will be quantitatively evaluated. (1) Residues in the hinge region between the catalytic and coenzyme binding domains and the domain contact regions will be altered in order to change the rate and extent of the conformational change, and allosteric interactions through the subunits will be studied with heterodimeric enzymes. (2) Amino acid residues that may contribute to protein promoting vibrations and residues buried in core regions will be mutated in order to change the protein fluidity and dynamics. "Extraneous" structural elements or Q-loops will be deleted to test the role of the protein scaffold. (3) Three-dimensional structures of wild-type and mutated enzymes complexed with substrate analogs will be determined by X-ray crystallography at high resolution, and dynamic information will be extracted by analysis of translation, libration, screw-rotation displacements (TLS parameters) for domains and subdomains that cooperate in catalysis. The dynamics hypothesis will be supported if the directions and amplitudes of motion are correlated with rates of hydride transfer. The kinetic, structural and dynamic results should improve our understanding of catalysis and facilitate rational drug design. Redesign of enzymes for medical and industrial applications should become more "rational" when the connections between protein structure and catalysis are better understood. Development of new catalysts based on protein scaffolds will benefit from a better understanding of protein motions and dynamics. Furthermore, the design of therapeutic agents must incorporate information about protein motions, as specificities are affected by amino acid residues that are distant from the active site. Studies on substrate and inhibitor specificities of alcohol dehydrogenases suggest that active sites are adaptable and that binding affinities are not easily explained with a static structure. Design of better inhibitors for treating the pathology of alcoholism depends on understanding the dynamics of catalysis by the rate-limiting enzyme in the pathway of alcohol metabolism.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项研究的长期目标是确定蛋白质结构，柔韧性，适应性和动力学在酶催化中的作用。总体假设是，在远离活性位点或远处的残基通过影响蛋白质运动和流动性，构象变化和亚基相互作用而导致催化。马肝醇脱氢酶是研究结构和动力学对催化作用的良好系统。各种络合物的三维结构已通过X射线晶体学确定了两个构象状态，并且可以从稳态和瞬态估计机制中每个步骤的速率和分离常数，包括化学步骤（氢化物转移）动力学。定点诱变将用于替代酶不同区域的氨基酸残基，并且将对催化机理，结构和动力学的影响进行定量评估。（1）将改变催化和辅酶结合结构域以及域接触区域之间的铰链区域的残基，以改变构象变化的速率和程度，并通过异二聚体酶研究通过亚基的变构相互作用。（2）可能有助于促进蛋白质振动和埋在核心区域的残基的氨基酸残基被突变，以改变蛋白质的流动性和动力学。将删除“无关”的结构元素或Q循环以测试蛋白质支架的作用。（3）与底物类似物复合的野生型和突变酶的三维结构将通过高分辨率以X射线晶体学确定，并且将通过分析翻译，插入，螺钉转基因位移来提取动态信息（TLS参数）用于在催化中合作的领域和子域。如果运动的方向和振幅与氢化物转移速率相关，则将支持动力学假设。动力学，结构和动态结果应提高我们对催化的理解，并促进合理的药物设计。更好地理解蛋白质结构和催化之间的连接时，酶的医疗和工业应用的重新设计应变得更加“理性”。基于蛋白质支架的新催化剂的开发将受益于对蛋白质运动和动态的更好理解。此外，治疗剂的设计必须包含有关蛋白质运动的信息，因为特异性受到远离活性部位的氨基酸残基的影响。关于酒精脱氢酶的底物和抑制剂特异性的研究表明，活性位点是适应性的，并且不容易用静态结构来解释结合亲和力。更好地治疗酒精中毒病理学的更好抑制剂的设计取决于了解酒精代谢途径中限制酶的催化动力学。
