5-Iodoribose 1-phosphate, an analog of ribose 1-phosphate. Enzymatic synthesis and kinetic studies with enzymes of purine, pyrimidine, and sugar phosphate metabolism

HS Choi, JD Stoeckler and RE Parks Jr

The 5'-deoxy-5'-iodo-substituted analogs of adenosine and inosine are cytotoxic to tumor cells that have high activities of 5'- methylthioadenosine phosphorylase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase, respectively (Savarese, T.M., Chu, S-H., Chu, M.Y., and Parks, R. E., Jr. (1984) Biochem. Pharmacol. 34, 361-367). 5-Iodoribose 1-phosphate (5-IRib-1-P), the common intracellular metabolite of these 5'- iodonucleosides, has been synthesized enzymatically from 5'-deoxy-5'- iodoadenosine via adenosine deaminase from Aspergillus oryzae and human erythrocytic purine nucleoside phosphorylase. The purification and chemical properties of 5-IRib-1-P are described. The analog sugar phosphate inhibited purine nucleoside phosphorylase from human erythrocytes, phosphoglucomutase from rabbit muscle, and 5'- methylthioadenosine phosphorylase from Sarcoma 180 cells with Ki values of 26, 100, and 9 microM, respectively. Enzymes that react with 5- phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (P-Rib-PP), P-Rib-PP amidotransferase, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase, adenine phosphoribosyltransferase, and orotate phosphoribosyltransferase- orotidylate decarboxylase from extracts of Sarcoma 180 cells, were inhibited with Ki values of 49, 465, 307, and 275 microM, respectively. 5-IRib-1-P had no effect on P-Rib-PP synthetase. Since the Ki values of the analog sugar phosphate for 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase and P-Rib-PP amidotransferase are much lower than the Km values of the natural substrates, Pi or P-Rib-PP which are reported to be present at nonsaturating concentrations under physiological conditions, these enzymes could be significantly inhibited by 5-IRib-1-P in intact cells.
