TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Solution structure of the catalytic domain of RICH protein from goldfish

Regeneration-induced CNPase homolog (RICH) is an axonal growth-associated protein, which is induced in teleost fish upon optical nerve injury. RICH consists of a highly acidic N-terminal domain, a catalytic domain with 2¢,3¢-cyclic nucleotide 3¢-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) activity and a C-terminal isoprenylation site. | ễFEBS Journal Solution structure of the catalytic domain of RICH protein from goldfish Guennadi Kozlov Alexey Y.

RICH consists of a highly acidic N-terminal domain a catalytic domain with 2 3 -cyclic nucleotide 3 -phosphodiesterase CNPase activity and a C-terminal isoprenylation site. In vitro RICH and mammalian brain CNPase specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of 2 3 -cyclic nucleotides to produce 2 -nucleotides but the physiologically relevant in vivo substrate remains unknown. Here we report the NMR structure of the catalytic domain of goldfish RICH and describe its binding to CNPase inhibitors. The structure consists of a twisted nine-stranded antiparallel b-sheet surrounded by a-helices on both sides. Despite significant local differences mostly arising from a seven-residue insert in the RICH sequence the active site region is highly similar to that of human CNPase. Likewise refinement of the catalytic domain of rat CNPase using residual dipolar couplings gave improved agreement with the published crystal structure. NMR titrations of RICH with inhibitors point to a similar catalytic mechanism for RICH and CNPase. The results suggest a functional importance for the evo-lutionarily conserved phosphodiesterase .
