[Assignment, by proton magnetic resonance, of histidines of dihydrofolate reductase from chicken liver]. 1987

E Lebrun, and Y X Tu, and F Bon, and D Davoust, and J J Basselier, and R Van Rapenbusch

The effects of pH and temperature upon C epsilon 1 H resonances of the four histidyl residues of chicken liver dihydrofolate reductase in binary complex with methotrexate were studied by 500-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy. The four histidines labelled a, b, c, d are distinguishable by their pK values and the chemical shifts of their C epsilon 1H protons. The local electromagnetic environment as deduced from X-ray studies at 2.9 A resolution was used as a basis for proposed assignment of the four histidines. The assignments were a: H42, b: H140, c: H131, d: H87. Furthermore the histidyl residue labelled c was shown to be upfield shifted in its C epsilon 1H proton in the enzyme-methotrexate complex compared to the native enzyme. The hypothesis of a conformational change of the protein is discussed.

D013762 Tetrahydrofolate Dehydrogenase An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the reaction 7,8-dihyrofolate and NADPH to yield 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate and NADPH+, producing reduced folate for amino acid metabolism, purine ring synthesis, and the formation of deoxythymidine monophosphate. Methotrexate and other folic acid antagonists used as chemotherapeutic drugs act by inhibiting this enzyme. (Dorland, 27th ed) EC 1.5.1.3.
