Abstract:
:The antiviral activity of L-nucleoside analogs depends in part on the enantioselectivity of nucleoside kinases which catalyse their monophosphorylation. The substrate properties of human recombinant deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) and human recombinant deoxyguanosine kinase (dGK) with respect to L-adenosine and L-guanosine analogs, in the presence of saturating amounts of ATP and relatively high concentrations of substrates, demonstrated a marked lack of enantioselectivity of both these enzymes. Human dCK catalysed the phosphorylation of D- and L-enantiomers of beta-dA, beta-araA, and beta-dG with enantioselectivities favoring the unnatural enantiomer for the adenosine derivatives and the natural enantiomer for 2'-deoxyguanosine. No other tested L-adenosine or L-guanosine analog was a substrate of dCK. Similarly, D- and L-enantiomers of beta-dA, beta-araA, and beta-dG were substrates of human dGK but with different enantioselectivities compared to dCK, especially concerning beta-dA. The present results indicate that human dCK and dGK have similar properties including substrate properties, relaxed enantioselectivities, and possibly catalytic cycles.
