    Description: Enoyl reductase (ENR), an enzyme involved in fatty acid biosynthesis, is the target for antibacterial diazaborines and the front-line antituberculosis drug isoniazid. Analysis of the structures of complexes of Escherichia coli ENR with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and either thienodiazaborine or benzodiazaborine revealed the formation of a covalent bond between the 2' hydroxyl of the nicotinamide ribose and a boron atom in the drugs to generate a tight, noncovalently bound bisubstrate analog. This analysis has implications for the structure-based design of inhibitors of ENR, and similarities to other oxidoreductases suggest that mimicking this molecular linkage may have generic applications in other areas of medicinal chemistry.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Baldock, C -- Rafferty, J B -- Sedelnikova, S E -- Baker, P J -- Stuitje, A R -- Slabas, A R -- Hawkes, T R -- Rice, D W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Dec 20;274(5295):2107-10.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Krebs Institute for Biomolecular Research, Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK.

    Notes: Abstract  The apo protein of imidazole glycerol phosphate dehydratase (IGPD) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae combines stoichiometrically with certain specific divalent metal cations to assemble the catalytically active form comprising 24 protein subunits and tightly bound metal. VO2+ ions react similarly but, uniquely, result in a metallo-protein (VO-IGPD) with neither catalytic activity nor the ability to bind to the reaction intermediate analogue, 2-hydroxy-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) propylphosphonate. Since VO2+ apparently assembles the quaternary structure correctly, it is used in the present study as a spin probe to investigate the metal centre coordination environment by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy. At neutral pH, the EPR spectrum of VO-IGPD reveals at least three distinct VO2+ sub-spectra with one predominant at low pH. The spin Hamiltonian parameters for some of the sub-spectra are consistent with 51V having nitrogen in the inner-sphere equatorial coordination environment from, most probably, multiple coordinating histidines. Further evidence for inner-sphere nitrogen ligands is obtained from ENDOR spectroscopy. The spectra of the low rf region show signals from interactions with 14N which are consistent with couplings to the imino nitrogen of coordinated histidine residues. In addition a number of proton ENDOR line pairs are resolved. Of the few that disappear upon exchange of the protein into D2O, one most likely originates from the exchangeable proton of the N-H group of a coordinated histidine imidazole. 1H-ENDOR line pairs from non-exchangeable protons with splittings of approximately 3 MHz can be attributed to imidazole carbon protons. Thus, most of the couplings observed by ENDOR are consistent with being from the imidazole heterocycle of one or more histidine ligands.
