Structural mechanism for statin inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase.
E.S.Istvan, J.Deisenhofer.
 
  ABSTRACT  
 
HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A) reductase (HMGR) catalyzes the committed step in cholesterol biosynthesis. Statins are HMGR inhibitors with inhibition constant values in the nanomolar range that effectively lower serum cholesterol levels and are widely prescribed in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. We have determined structures of the catalytic portion of human HMGR complexed with six different statins. The statins occupy a portion of the binding site of HMG-CoA, thus blocking access of this substrate to the active site. Near the carboxyl terminus of HMGR, several catalytically relevant residues are disordered in the enzyme-statin complexes. If these residues were not flexible, they would sterically hinder statin binding.
 
  Selected figure(s)  
 
Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Statins exploit the conformational flexibility of HMGR to create a hydrophobic binding pocket near the active site. (A) Active site of human HMGR in complex with HMG, CoA, and NADP. The active site is located at a monomer-monomer interface. One monomer is colored yellow, the other monomer is in blue. Selected side chains of residues that contact the substrates or the statin are shown in a ball-and-stick representation (20). Secondary structure elements are marked by black labels. HMG and CoA are colored in magenta; NADP is colored in green. To illustrate the molecular volume occupied by the substrates, transparent spheres with a radius of 1.6 Å are laid over the ball-and-stick representation of the substrates or the statin. (B) Binding of rosuvastatin to HMGR. Rosuvastatin is colored in purple; other colors and labels are as in (A). This figure and Figs. 3 and 4 were prepared with Bobscript (22), GLR (23), and POV-Ray (24).
Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Mode of binding of compactin (A), simvastatin (B), fluvastatin (C), cerivastatin (D), atorvastatin (E), and rosuvastatin (F) to human HMGR. Interactions between the HMG moieties of the statins and the protein are mostly ionic or polar. They are similar for all inhibitors and are indicated by the dotted lines. Numbers next to the lines indicate distances in Å (13). The rigid hydrophobic groups of the statins are situated in a shallow groove between helices L 1 and L 10. Additional interactions between Arg590 and the fluorophenyl group are present in the type 2 statins (C, D, E, F). Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin form a hydrogen bond between Ser565 and a carbonyl oxygen atom (atorvastatin) (E) or a sulfone oxygen atom (rosuvastatin) (F).

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
