The human nucleotide pool sanitization enzyme, MTH1, hydrolyzes 2-hydroxy-dATP and 8-hydroxy-dATP in addition to 8-hydroxy-dGTP. We report here that human MTH1 is highly specific for 2-hydroxy-ATP, among the cognate ribonucleoside triphosphates. The pyrophosphatase activities for 8-hydroxy-GTP, 2-hydroxy-ATP and 8-hydroxy-ATP were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. The kinetic parameters thus obtained indicate that the catalytic efficiencies of MTH1 are in the order of 2-hydroxy-dATP > 2-hydroxy-ATP > 8-hydroxy-dGTP > 8-hydroxy-dATP >> dGTP > 8-hydroxy-GTP > 8-hydroxy-ATP. Notably, MTH1 had the highest affinity for 2-hydroxy-ATP among the known substrates. ATP is involved in energy metabolism and signal transduction, and is a precursor in RNA synthesis. We suggest that the 2-hydroxy-ATP hydrolyzing activity of MTH1 might prevent the perturbation of these ATP-related pathways by the oxidized ATP.
人类核苷酸池净化酶MTH1除了能水解8-羟基-dGTP外,还能水解2-羟基-dATP和8-羟基-dATP。我们在此报告,在同源核糖核苷三磷酸中,人类MTH1对2-羟基-ATP具有高度特异性。通过高效液相色谱法测定了8-羟基-GTP、2-羟基-ATP和8-羟基-ATP的焦磷酸酶活性。由此获得的动力学参数表明,MTH1的催化效率顺序为2-羟基-dATP > 2-羟基-ATP > 8-羟基-dGTP > 8-羟基-dATP >> dGTP > 8-羟基-GTP > 8-羟基-ATP。值得注意的是,在已知底物中,MTH1对2-羟基-ATP的亲和力最高。ATP参与能量代谢和信号转导,并且是RNA合成的前体。我们认为,MTH1的2-羟基-ATP水解活性可能会防止氧化型ATP对这些与ATP相关的途径造成干扰。
