The Structure of the L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate Synthase-NAD[superscript +]-2-deoxy-D-glucitol 6-(E)-Vinylhomophosphonate Complex Demands a Revision of the Enzyme Mechanism
- MSU
1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate (MIP) synthase catalyzes the conversion of D-glucose 6-phosphate to 1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate, the first and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of all inositol-containing compounds. It involves an oxidation, enolization, intramolecular aldol cyclization, and reduction. Here we present the structure of MIP synthase in complex with NAD{sup +} and a high-affinity inhibitor, 2-deoxy-D-glucitol 6-(E)-vinylhomophosphonate. This structure reveals interactions between the enzyme active site residues and the inhibitor that are significantly different from that proposed for 2-deoxy-D-glucitol 6-phosphate in the previously published structure of MIP synthase-NAD{sup +}-2-deoxy-D-glucitol 6-phosphate. There are several other conformational changes in NAD{sup +} and the enzyme active site as well. Based on the new structural data, we propose a new and completely different mechanism for MIP synthase.
