Abstract

Recently, we found that the W208A substitution in human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)1A7 diminished its function, even though the corresponding residue of UGT1A6, a related active isoform, is Ala. To address this anomaly, we constructed mutants of UGT1A7 to evaluate the role of Trp208 and its surrounding residues on its SN-38 glucuronidation activity. Analyses of the mutations suggest that His210 has a negative effect on UGT1A7 activity and further, that activity of the UGT1A7(W208A) mutant is restored when the surrounding residues are mutated to mimic those of UGT1A6.
