Molecular Dynamics Study of Substrate Specificity in Group Ⅰ Nucleoside Hydrolases

摘要
Nucleoside hydrolases(NHs) are a class of enzymes that hydrolyze the N-glycosidic bond between the base and sugar groups of selected nucleosides. The homology group Ⅰconsists of both nonspecific and pyrimidine-specific NHs, which share a high degree(30–70%) of sequence identity but have distinct substrate specificities. It is still unknown whether that IU-NHs are acquired-function mutants of CU-NHs or CU-NH enzymes could be endowed with specific active-site features to selectively discriminate the leaving group of pyrimidine nucleosides. Herein molecular dynamics(MD) simulations in combination with state-of-the-art quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics(QM/MM) MD simulations have been used to explore the regulation mechanism of the enzymatic hydrolysis. The present results indicate that there are different working strategies resposible for nonspecific and pyrimidine-specific NHs. Moreover, different key residues around the active pocket of these distinct NHs and two flexible loops 1 and 2 have been found to play an important role in manipulating their hydrolytic decompositions.
