摘要: A suite of crystal structures is reported for a cellular mRNA cap (guanine-N7) methyltransferase in complex with AdoMet, AdoHcy, and the guanylate. Superposition ligand complexes suggests an in-line mechanism methyl transfer, albeit without direct contacts between enzyme either N7 atom guanine (the attacking nucleophile), carbon or sulfur AdoMet/AdoHcy leaving group). The indicate that catalysis methylation accomplished by optimizing proximity orientation substrates, assisted favorable electrostatic environment. enzyme-ligand structures, together new mutational data, fully account biochemical specificity guanine-N7 reaction, essential defining step eukaryotic synthesis.
