Human serum albumin (HSA) is an abundant
transport protein found in plasma that binds a wide variety of drugs in
two primary binding sites (I and II) and can have a significant impact
on their pharmacokinetics. We have determined the crystal structures at
2.5 Å-resolution of HSA-myristate complexed with the R-(+) and S-( ) enantiomers of warfarin, a widely used
anticoagulant that binds to the protein with high affinity. The
structures confirm that warfarin binds to drug site I (in subdomain
IIA) in the presence of fatty acids and reveal the molecular details of
the protein-drug interaction. The two enantiomers of warfarin adopt
very similar conformations when bound to the protein and make many of
the same specific contacts with amino acid side chains at the binding
site, thus accounting for the relative lack of stereospecificity of the
HSA-warfarin interaction. The conformation of the warfarin binding
pocket is significantly altered upon binding of fatty acids, and this
can explain the observed enhancement of warfarin binding to HSA at low
levels of fatty acid.
