The authors point out the structural and mechanistic similarities between Pol I family nucleotide polymerase palm domains and nucleotide cyclases. Current crystal structures now lend much support to the authors' proposal that the two enzyme families have an ancestral relationship.

35. 2. The nucleotide specificities of adenylyl cyclase and the closely related, soluble guanylyl cyclase were altered merely by swapping a few residues in their purine-binding pockets. Adenylyl cyclase became a nonselective purine cyclase, whereas guanylyl cyclase became specific for ATP. The altered adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases were still responsive to their respective stimulators. This paper provides the ultimate proof that P-site inhibitors act at the active site of adenylyl cyclase, not at a separate regulatory site.
36. 2 homodimer. The authors exchanged two residues in the purine-binding pocket of retinal guanylyl cyclase with their equivalents in adenylyl cyclase and demonstrated a change in specificity from GTP to ATP. The mutated guanylyl cyclase was still responsive to its nascent stimulatory proteins.

An important paper, not only for the general nucleotide polymerase field, but also for illuminating the catalytic mechanism of adenylyl cyclase. This elegant structure captures for the first time a polymerase active site complete with two metals, DNA template, replicating strand and nucleotide substrate. The structure effectively ends much of the debate on the polymerase catalytic mechanism. The striking similarity of its active site to that of adenylyl cyclase is confirmation of a common catalytic mechanism and, together with their structural similarity, a common ancestry.
