- W2090921409 abstract "Thymidine kinase (TK), encoded by EBV (Epstein–Barr virus), is an attractive target for antiviral therapy and provides a novel approach to the treatment of EBV-associated malignancies. Despite the extensive use of nucleoside analogues for the treatment of viral infections and cancer, the structure–function relationship of EBV TK has been addressed rarely. In the absence of any structural information, we sought to identify and elucidate the functional roles of amino acids in the nucleoside-binding site using site-directed mutagenesis. Through alignment with other human herpesviral TK protein sequences, we predicted that certain conserved regions comprise the nucleoside-binding site of EBV TK and, through site-directed mutagenesis, showed significant changes in activity and binding affinity for thymidine of site 3 (-DRH-) and 4 (-VFP-) mutants. For site 3, only mutants D392E (Asp392→Glu) and R393H retain activity, indicating that a negative charge is important for Asp392 and a positive charge is required for Arg393. The increased binding affinities of these two mutants for 3´-deoxy-2´,3´-didehydrothymidine suggest that the two residues are also important for substrate selection. Interestingly, the changed metal-ion usage pattern of D392E reveals that Asp392 plays multiple roles in this region. His394 cannot be compensated by other amino acids, also indicating a crucial role. In site 4, the F402Y mutant retains full activity; however, F402S retains only 60% relative activity. Strikingly, when Phe402 is substituted with serine residue, the original preferred pyrimidine substrates, such as 3´-azido-3´-deoxythymidine, iododeoxyuridine and β-l-5-iododioxolane uracil (l-form substrate), have decreased competitiveness with thymidine, suggesting that Phe402 plays a crucial role in substrate specificity and that the aromatic ring is important for function." @default.
