Uridine nucleoside phosphorylase is an important drug target for the development of anti-infective and antitumour agents. The X-ray crystal structure of Salmonella typhimurium uridine nucleoside phosphorylase (StUPh) complexed with its inhibitor 2,2'-anhydrouridine, phosphate and potassium ions has been solved and refined at 1.86 A resolution (R(cryst) = 17.6%, R(free) = 20.6%). The complex of human uridine phosphorylase I (HUPhI) with 2,2'-anhydrouridine was modelled using a computational approach. The model allowed the identification of atomic groups in 2,2'-anhydrouridine that might improve the interaction of future inhibitors with StUPh and HUPhI.
