Structure of full-length human phenylalanine hydroxylase in complex with tetrahydrobiopterin.

Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) is a key enzyme in the catabolism of phenylalanine, and mutations in this enzyme cause phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder that leads to brain damage and mental retardation if untreated. Some patients benefit from supplementation with a synthetic formulation of...

Some patients benefit from supplementation with a synthetic formulation of the cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH) that partly acts as a pharmacological chaperone. Here we present structures of full-length human PAH (hPAH) both unbound and complexed with BH in the precatalytic state. Crystal structures, solved at 3.18-Å resolution, show the interactions between the cofactor and PAH, explaining the negative regulation exerted by BH BH forms several H-bonds with the N-terminal autoregulatory tail but is far from the catalytic Fe Upon BH binding a polar and salt-bridge interaction network links the three PAH domains, explaining the stability conferred by BH Importantly, BH binding modulates the interaction between subunits, providing information about PAH allostery. Moreover, we also show that the cryo-EM structure of hPAH in absence of BH reveals a highly dynamic conformation for the tetramers. Structural analyses of the hPAH:BH subunits revealed that the substrate-induced movement of Tyr138 into the active site could be coupled to the displacement of BH from the precatalytic toward the active conformation, a molecular mechanism that was supported by site-directed mutagenesis and targeted molecular dynamics simulations. Finally, comparison of the rat and human PAH structures show that hPAH is more dynamic, which is related to amino acid substitutions that enhance the flexibility of hPAH and may increase the susceptibility to PKU-associated mutations.National Academy of SciencesMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Norway Regional Health Authority20242024-10-0820192019-06-0420192019-06-04research articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12105/23566reponame:Repisaludinstname:Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII)InglésengAgencia Estatal de Investigación http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2013-2016 BFU2017-90030-P APUNTANDO A LA RESISTENCIA A ANTIBIOTICOS: BASES ESTRUCTURALES DE LA REGULACION EN PROCESOS ESENCIALES DE REMODELADO DE LA PARED CELULARAgencia Estatal de Investigación http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2013-2016 BFU2017-87316-P COMPLEJOS MACROMOLECULARES EN LOS PROCESOS DE REPLICACION Y REPARACION DEL DNA MITOCONDRIAL: MECANISMOS MOLECULARES Y ESTRUCTURALES MEDIANTE CRIO-EMopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repisalud.isciii.es:20.500.12105/235662026-06-12T12:43:37Z
