| Abstract | Uridine–cytidine kinase catalyzes phosphorylation of the pyrimidine nucleosides uridine and cytidine and plays an important role in nucleotide metabolism. However, the detailed molecular mechanism of these reactions remains to be elucidated. Here, we determined the structure of the ternary complex of Uridine–cytidine kinase from Thermus thermophilus HB8 with both cytidine and β,γ-methyleneadenosine 5′-triphosphate, a non-hydrolysable ATP analogue. Substrate binding is accompanied by substantial domain movement that allows the substrate-binding cleft to close. The terminal phosphodiester bond of the ATP analogue is in an ideal location for an inline attack of the 5′-hydroxyl group of cytidine. Asp40 is located near the 5′-hydroxyl group of cytidine. Mutation of this conserved residue to Asn or Ala resulted in a complete loss of enzyme activity, which is consistent with the notion that Asp40 acts as a general base that activates the 5′-hydroxyl group of cytidine. The pH profile of the activity showed an apparent pK $_{a}$ value of 7.4. Based on this structure, a likely mechanism of the catalytic step is discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
