The 1H/15N HSQC NMR spectra of complexes of Lactobacillus casei dihydrofolate reductase containing methotrexate recorded at 1 degree C show four resolved signals for the four NH(eta) protons of the Arg57 residue. This is consistent with hindered rotation in the guanidino group resulting from interactions with the alpha-carboxylate of methotrexate. Increasing the temperature causes exchange line-broadening and coalescence of signals. Rotation rates for the N(epsilon)C(zeta) and C(zeta)N(eta) bonds have been calculated from lineshape analysis and from zz-HSQC exchange experiments. The interactions between the methotrexate alpha-carboxylate group and the Arg57 guanidino group decrease the rotation rates for the N(epsilon)C(zeta) bond by about a factor of 10 and those for the C(zeta)N(eta) bonds by more than a factor of 100 with respect to their values in free arginine. Furthermore, the relative rates of rotation about these two bonds are reversed in the protein complexes compared with their values in free arginine indicating that there are concerted rotations about the N(epsilon)C(zeta) bond of the Arg57 guanidino group and the C'C(alpha) bond of the glutamate alpha-carboxylate group of methotrexate.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007780 Lacticaseibacillus casei A rod-shaped bacterium isolated from milk and cheese, dairy products and dairy environments, sour dough, cow dung, silage, and human mouth, human intestinal contents and stools, and the human vagina. L. casei is CATALASE positive. Lactobacillus casei
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D008727 Methotrexate An antineoplastic antimetabolite with immunosuppressant properties. It is an inhibitor of TETRAHYDROFOLATE DEHYDROGENASE and prevents the formation of tetrahydrofolate, necessary for synthesis of thymidylate, an essential component of DNA.

D009249 NADP Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-phosphate (NMN) coupled by pyrophosphate linkage to the 5'-phosphate adenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate. It serves as an electron carrier in a number of reactions, being alternately oxidized (NADP+) and reduced (NADPH).

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.
