ENZYME entry: EC 1.17.4.1

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.17.4.1
Accepted Name
ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase
Alternative Name(s)
ribonucleotide reductase
Reaction catalysed
a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-diphosphate + [thioredoxin]-disulfide + H2O = a ribonucleoside 5'-diphosphate + [thioredoxin]-dithiol
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme is responsible for the de novo conversion of ribonucleoside diphosphates into deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates, which are essential for DNA synthesis and repair.
  • There are three types of this enzyme differing in their cofactors.
  • Class Ia enzymes contain a diiron(III)-tyrosyl radical, class Ib enzymes contain a dimanganese-tyrosyl radical, and class II enzymes contain adenosylcobalamin.
  • In all cases the cofactors are involved in generation of a transient thiyl (sulfanyl) radical on a cysteine residue, which attacks the substrate, forming a ribonucleotide 3'-radical, followed by water loss to form a ketyl (alpha-oxoalkyl) radical.
  • The ketyl radical is reduced to 3'-keto-deoxynucleotide concomitant with formation of a disulfide anion radical between two cysteine residues.
  • A proton-coupled electron-transfer from the disulfide radical to the substrate generates a 3'-deoxynucleotide radical, and the the final product is formed when the hydrogen atom that was initially removed from the 3'-position of the nucleotide by the thiyl radical is returned to the same position.
  • The disulfide bridge is reduced by the action of thioredoxin. cf. EC 1.1.98.6 and EC 1.17.4.2.
