distinct from the human homologue GCYH-IA. A comparison of the crystal structures of GCYH-IA and -IB with the nM inhibitor 8-oxo-GTP bound shows that the active site of GCYH-IB is larger and differently shaped. Based on this structural information, we designed and synthesized a small set of 8-oxo-G derivatives with ether linkages at O6 and O8 expected to displace water molecules from the expanded active
GTP环水解酶(GCYH-I)是叶酸生物合成途径中的一种酶,以前尚未被用作抗生素靶标,尽管包括淋病奈瑟菌在内的几种病原体都使用某种形式的GCYH-IB酶,其结构与人的同源基因不同GCYH-IA。GCYH-IA和-IB与nM抑制剂8-oxo-GTP结合的晶体结构的比较表明,GCYH-IB的活性位点更大且形状不同。基于此结构信息,我们设计和合成了少量的在O6和O8带有醚键的8-氧代-G衍生物,这些衍生物有望将水分子从GCYH-IB的扩展活性位点转移出来。这些化合物中最有效的G3对GCYH-IB具有选择性,
