Résumé
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) use radical-based chemistry to convert ribonucleotides into deoxyribonucleotides, an essential step in DNA biosynthesis and repair. There are multiple RNR classes, the best studied of which is the class Ia RNR that is found in Escherichia coli, eukaryotes including humans, and many pathogenic and nonpathogenic prokaryotes. This review covers recent advances in our understanding of class Ia RNRs, including a recent reporting of a structure of the active state of the E. coli enzyme and the impacts that the structure has had on spurring research into the mechanism of long-range radical transfer. Additionally, the review considers other recent structural and biochemical research on class Ia RNRs and the potential of that work for the development of anticancer and antibiotic therapeutics.
