title: [Simulation of Mutant P32T Homo- and Heterodimers of Human Inosine Triphosphate Pyrophosphatase hITPA].
abstract: The structure of three forms of a dimeric enzyme, human inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase, is considered to identify the enzyme conformation changes causing the inactivation effect of a P32T mutation. Analysis of a nanosecond molecular dynamics is performed; the mean square deviations of the atoms between the wild-type and mutant homodimers, and also the heterodimer are calculated. A 3 ns modeling shows a greater displacement of atoms in mutant protomers. During molecular dynamics simulation, the strongest changes are observed in the loop between α2 and β2 (amino acid residues 28-33, an area of the P32T mutation), the loop between β5 and β6, and the C-terminal amino acid residues. The loop between (α2 and β2 has two conformations characterized by different positions of the Phe31 aromatic group. The distance between Cys33 (Cα) and Phe31 (C(z)) for wild-type and mutant protomers was -9 and 5.5 Å, respectively. These conformations were kept constant.
