Fluorine-19 NMR studies of the mechanism of riboflavin synthase. Synthesis of 6-(trifluoromethyl)-8-(D-ribityl)lumazine and derivatives
摘要:
6-(Trifluoromethyl)-8-(D-ribityl)lumazine (17) was synthesized in order to study its reactivity at C-7 and its binding to riboflavin synthase of Bacillus subtilis. Compound 17 was prepared by reaction of 5-amino-4-[(D-ribityl)amino]-2,4-(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione hydrochloride (3.HCl) with trifluoropyruvaldehyde hydrate (18). NMR studies revealed that under basic conditions, 17 forms only one major anionic species in which the oxygen of the 3'-hydroxyl group on the ribityl side chain binds covalently to C-7 of the lumazine, resulting in the formation of a pyran ring. As a model for possible addition of nucleophilic groups on the enzyme to C-7 of 17, the reactions of 17 with a variety of sulfur nucleophiles were studied. Fluorolumazine 17 was found to form covalent adducts 27-31 with sulfite, sulfide, mercaptoethanol, D,L-1,4-dithiothreitol, and L-cysteine. Three molecules of 17 were found to bind per enzyme molecule (alpha subunit trimer). Equilibrium dialysis experiments and F-19 NMR spectroscopy provided dissociation constants K(D) of 38 and 100 muM, respectively. The inhibition constant K(I) was 58 muM. There was no evidence obtained for the formation of a covalent adduct between the fluorolumazine 17 and the enzyme, suggesting that the nucleophile adding to C-7 during the enzyme-catalyzed reaction is derived from water. The covalent adducts obtained from 17 were found to bind to the enzyme significantly more tightly than 17 itself. The covalent adducts 27-31 as well as 17 could be displaced from the enzyme by both riboflavin (2) and 5-nitroso-6-[(D-ribityl)-amino]-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione (32).

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an abundant class of innate T cells restricted by the MHC I-related molecule MR1. MAIT cells can recognize bacterially-derived metabolic intermediates from the riboflavin pathway presented by MR1 and are postulated to play a role in innate antibacterial immunity through production of cytokines and direct bacterial killing. MR1 tetramers, typically stabilized by the adduct of 5-amino-6-D-ribitylaminouracil (5-A-RU) and methylglyoxal (MeG), are important tools for the study of MAIT cells. A long-standing problem with 5-A-RU is that it is unstable upon storage. Herein we report an efficient synthetic approach to the HCl salt of this ligand, which has improved stability during storage. We also show that synthetic 5-A-RU•HCl produced by this method may be used in protocols for the stimulation of human MAIT cells and production of both human and mouse MR1 tetramers for MAIT cell identification.

Reaction of perfluorobutane-2,3-dione with 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione hydrochloride (13) gave a mixture of the epimeric covalently hydrated fluorolumazines 14a and 14b, which were separated by preparative HPLC. The epimer that eluted first using a methanol-ammonium formate buffer mobile phase (epimer A) interacts stereospecifically with light riboflavin synthase of Bacillus subtilis as shown by F-19 NMR spectroscopy, which provided evidence for the formation of three enzyme-bound species that exchange with the free ligand on the NMR time scale. Dissociation constants of 13.0 and 16.2-mu-M were obtained from NMR and equilibrium dialysis experiments, respectively. Both methods showed the binding of one ligand molecule per protein subunit. Epimer A is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme (K(I) = 38-mu-M at pH 6.8). Epimer B did not bind to the enzyme.

Synthesis of 2,6-Dioxo-(1 H ,3 H )-9- N -ribitylpurine and 2,6-Dioxo-(1 H ,3 H )-8-aza-9- N -ribitylpurine as inhibitors of lumazine synthase and riboflavin synthase
2,6-Dioxo-(1H,3H)-9-N-ribitylpurine (6) and 2,6-dioxo-(1H,3H)-8-aza-9-N-ribitylpurin (7) have been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of lumazine synthase and riboflavin synthase. Reaction of 5-amino-6-ribityl-aminouracil hydrochloride (8) with diethoxymethyl acetate (9) afforded the purine 6, while diazotization of 8 afforded the 8-aza purine 7. Compounds 6 and 7 were evaluated against lumazine synthase of Bacillus subtilis and riboflavin synthase of Escherichia coli. Both 6 and 7 were better inhibitors of lumazine synthase than riboflavin synthase. The 8-azapurine 7 had a lower K-I (0.33 and 0.39 mM) than the purine 6 (0.47 and 0.54 mM) when evaluated with lumazine synthase and riboflavin synthase, respectively. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
