The dinucleotide binding βαβ motif in the crystal structures of seven different enzymes has been analysed in terms of their three-dimensional structures and primary sequences. We have identified that the hydrogen bonding of the adenine ribose to the glycine-rich turn containing the fingerprint sequence GXGXXG/A occursviaa direct or indirect mechanism, depending on the nature of the fingerprint sequence but independent of coenzyme specificity. The major determinant of the type of interaction is the nature of the residue occupying the last position of the above fingerprint. In the NAD+-linked dehydrogenases, an acidic residue is commonly used to form important hydrogen bonds to the adenine ribose hydroxyls and, hitherto, this residue has been thought to be an indicator of NAD+specificity. However, on the basis of the three-dimensional structure of the NAD+-linked glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) fromClostridium symbiosumwe have demonstrated that this residue is not a universal requirement for the construction of an NAD+binding site. Furthermore, considerations of sequence homology unambiguously identify an equivalent acidic residue in both NADP+and dual specificity glutamate dehydrogenases. The conservation of this residue in these enzymes, coupled to its close proximity to the 2′ phosphate implied by the necessary similarity in three-dimensional structure toC. symbiosumGDH, implicates this residue in the recognition of the 2′ phosphate eitherviawater-mediated or direct hydrogen-bonding schemes. Analysis of the latter has led us to suggest that two patterns of recognition for the 2′ phosphate group of NADP+-binding enzymes may exist, which are distinguished by the ionization state of the 2′ phosphate.
