Enzyme reactions

• Enzyme class 1: E.C.2.1.1.56 - mRNA (guanine-N(7))-methyltransferase.
• Reaction: a 5'-end (5'-triphosphoguanosine)-ribonucleoside in mRNA + S-adenosyl-L- methionine = a 5'-end (N(7)-methyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)-ribonucleoside in mRNA + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine

5'-end (5'-triphosphoguanosine)-ribonucleoside in mRNA + S-adenosyl-L- methionine = 5'-end (N(7)-methyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)-ribonucleoside in mRNA + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (Bound ligand (Het Group name = SAH) corresponds exactly)

• Enzyme class 2: E.C.2.1.1.57 - methyltransferase cap1.
• Reaction: a 5'-end (N(7)-methyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)-ribonucleoside in mRNA + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = a 5'-end (N(7)-methyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)- (2'-O-methyl-ribonucleoside) in mRNA + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H⁺

5'-end (N(7)-methyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)-ribonucleoside in mRNA + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 5'-end (N(7)-methyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)- (2'-O-methyl-ribonucleoside) in mRNA + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H(+) (Bound ligand (Het Group name = SAH) corresponds exactly)

• Enzyme class 3: E.C.2.7.7.48 - RNA-directed Rna polymerase.
• Reaction: RNA(n) + a ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate = RNA(n+1) + diphosphate

RNA(n) + ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate = RNA(n+1) (Bound ligand (Het Group name = GTP) matches with 69.23% similarity) + diphosphate

• Enzyme class 4: E.C.3.4.21.91 - flavivirin.
• Reaction: Selective hydrolysis of Xaa-Xaa-|-Xbb bonds in which each of the Xaa can be either Arg or Lys and Xbb can be either Ser or Ala.
• Enzyme class 5: E.C.3.6.1.15 - nucleoside-triphosphate phosphatase.
• Reaction: a ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate + H2O = a ribonucleoside 5'-diphosphate + phosphate + H⁺
• Enzyme class 6: E.C.3.6.4.13 - Rna helicase.
• Reaction: ATP + H2O = ADP + phosphate + H⁺

ATP (Bound ligand (Het Group name = GTP) matches with 96.88% similarity) + H2O = ADP + phosphate + H(+)

Note, where more than one E.C. class is given (as above), each may correspond to a different protein domain or, in the case of polyprotein precursors, to a different mature protein.

ABSTRACT

The flavivirus 2'-O-nucleoside N-terminal RNA methyltransferase (MTase) enzyme is responsible for methylating the viral RNA cap structure. To increase our understanding of the mechanism of viral RNA cap binding we performed a detailed structural and biochemical characterization of the guanosine cap-binding pocket of the dengue (DEN) and yellow fever (YF) virus MTase enzymes. We solved an improved 2.1 A resolution crystal structure of DEN2 Mtase, new 1.5 A resolution crystal structures of the YF virus MTase domain in apo form, and a new 1.45 A structure in complex with guanosine triphosphate and RNA cap analog. Our structures clarify the previously reported DEN MTase structure, suggest novel protein-cap interactions, and provide a detailed view of guanine specificity. Furthermore, the structures of the DEN and YF proteins are essentially identical, indicating a large degree of structural conservation amongst the flavivirus MTases. Guanosine triphosphate analog competition assays and mutagenesis analysis, performed to analyze the biochemical characteristics of cap binding, determined that the major interaction points are (i) guanine ring via pi-pi stacking with Phe24, N1 hydrogen interaction with the Leu19 backbone carbonyl via a water bridge, and C2 amine interaction with Leu16 and Leu19 backbone carbonyls; (ii) ribose 2' hydroxyl interaction with Lys13 and Asn17; and (iii) alpha-phosphate interactions with Lys28 and Ser215. Based on our mutational and analog studies, the guanine ring and alpha-phosphate interactions provide most of the energy for cap binding, while the combination of the water bridge between the guanine N1 and Leu19 carbonyl and the hydrogen bonds between the C2 amine and Leu16/Leu19 carbonyl groups provide for specific guanine recognition. A detailed model of how the flavivirus MTase protein binds RNA cap structures is presented.

Fig. 2. Structural details of the cap-binding site and ligand complexes in the citrate (a–c) and MPD (d–f) crystal forms. 2F[o] − F[c] maps contoured at 1.8σ are shown for the apo (a and d) and the bound GTP ligand (b and e) structures. Composite 2500K simulated-anneal omit maps are shown for the nonmethylated GpppA cap analog in the citrate crystal form (c) and for the N7 methylated GpppA cap analog in the MPD crystal form (f). The view in panel (c) is from the top of the GpppA binding site to show the stacking interactions involving Phe24 and the guanosine and adenosine from the cap analog. “W” denotes the bridging water molecule. Residues described in the text are labeled in (a) and (e).

Fig. 4. Conservation of binding-site residues amongst flavivirus family members. Black background denotes nonsimilar substitutions, and the shaded rectangles bring attention to residues where increased variability is observed. Numbering for YF is noted and is used throughout the manuscript to describe all MTase residues. Residues with side chains within hydrogen-bonding distance of GTP are marked with an asterisk (*). Residues with backbone carbonyl groups interacting with the conserved water and the guanine ring are marked with the symbol (@).
