The antitumor compound PT523 [N(alpha)-(4-amino-4-deoxypteroyl)-N(delta)-hemiphthaloyl-L- ornithine] was found to have an inhibition constant (K(i)) of 0.35 +/- 0.10 pM against human dihydrofolate reductase (hDHFR), 15-fold lower than that of the classical antifolate drug methotrexate (MTX). The structure of PT523 bound to hDHFR and hDHFR-NADPH was investigated using multinuclear NMR techniques. NMR data indicate that the binary complex has two distinct conformations in solution which are in slow exchange and that the addition of NADPH stabilizes the ternary complex in a single bound state. Comparison of resonance assignments in the PT523 and MTX ternary complexes revealed that substantial protein chemical shift differences are limited to small regions of hDHFR tertiary structure. A restrained molecular dynamics and energy minimization protocol was performed for the hDHFR-PT523-NADPH complex, using 185 NOE restraints (33 intermolecular) to define the ligand-binding region. The positions of the pteridine and pABA rings of PT523 and the nicotinamide and ribose rings of NADPH are well defined in the solution structures (RMSD = 0.59 A) and are consistent with previously determined structures of DHFR complexes. The N(delta)-hemiphthaloyl-L-ornithine group of PT523 is less well defined, and the calculated model structures suggest the hemiphthaloyl ring may adopt more than one conformation in solution. Contacts between the hemiphthaloyl ring and hDHFR, which are not possible in the hDHFR-MTX-NADPH complex, may explain the greater inhibition potency of PT523.

Journal club: structure of the ternary Prp31:15.5K:U4 snRNA complex (1 reply)
I would like to start the “journal club” section of the NMR forum by presenting my favorite paper from the recent literature.
The paper (in this weeks issue of Science) is, in my opinion at least, a perfect example of the ability of NMR to contribute to the structural analysis of a challenging RNA-protein complex
I chose this high-impact paper because the combination of biochemistry, NMR, and crystallography on a ternary complex is how I would like to tackle a challenging project that I am...
