Heme-based dioxygenases: Structure, function and dynamics
Tryptophan dioxygenase (TDO) and indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) belong to a unique class of heme-based enzymes that insert dioxygen into the essential amino acid, L-tryptophan (Trp), to generate N-formylkynurenine (NFK), a critical metabolite in the kynurenine pathway. Recently, the two dioxygenases were recognized as pivotal cancer immunotherapeutic drug targets, which triggered a great deal of drug discovery targeting them. The advancement of the field is however hampered by the poor understanding of the structural properties of the two enzymes and the mechanisms by which the structures dictate their functions. In this review, we summarize recent findings centered on the structure, function, and dynamics of the human isoforms of the two enzymes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry is an established international forum for research in all aspects of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of a high scientific level are published in the form of Articles (full length papers), Short Communications, Focused Reviews and Bioinorganic Methods. Topics include: the chemistry, structure and function of metalloenzymes; the interaction of inorganic ions and molecules with proteins and nucleic acids; the synthesis and properties of coordination complexes of biological interest including both structural and functional model systems; the function of metal- containing systems in the regulation of gene expression; the role of metals in medicine; the application of spectroscopic methods to determine the structure of metallobiomolecules; the preparation and characterization of metal-based biomaterials; and related systems. The emphasis of the Journal is on the structure and mechanism of action of metallobiomolecules.
