Abstract
Human glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) occurs in the central nervous system as well as in human prostate (where it is called prostate-specific membrane antigen; PSMA). Inhibitors of the enzyme have been shown to provide neuroprotection, but may also be useful for the detection, imaging and treatment of prostate cancer. Crystal structures were determined of the extracellular part of GCPII (amino-acid residues 44-750) in complex with two potent inhibitors, quisqualate and 2-PMPA (the strongest GCPII inhibitor to date), at resolutions of 3.0 and 2.2 A, respectively. In addition, models were constructed for binding of the inhibitors willardiine, homoibotenate, L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutanoic acid and L-serine-O-sulfate to the S1' site of the enzyme. The common denominator for high-affinity binding to the S1' site is the formation of two strong salt bridges.

Full text Abstract
Figure 3.
Figure 3 Surface representation of the 20 Å deep funnel leading to the catalytic site. Blue, side-chain nitrogens of Arg and Lys residues; red, side-chain oxygens of Asp and Glu; green, side-chain carbons of Tyr and Phe residues. Yellow, Zn^2+ ions; inhibitors shown as stick models. (A) Complex with GPI-18431; (B) complex with phosphate. Note the difference in the shape of the pocket because of withdrawal of the 'glutarate sensor' (Y700) in the phosphate complex.
Figure 4.
Figure 4 2F[o]–F[c] electron density maps (stereo) contoured at 1.2 , for the GCPII complex with GPI-18431 (A), phosphate (B), and L-glutamate (C). Zinc ions are shown in dark green, chloride in yellow. Ligands are shown using green sticks and atom-color spheres. Note the different conformation of the 'glutarate sensor' (Lys699 and Tyr700) in (B), which is caused by the absence of a glutarate moiety in the phosphate complex.
