The biosynthesis of thiol- and thioether-containing cofactors and secondary metabolites catalyzed by radical S-adenosylmethionine enzymes.
Sulfur atoms are present as thiol and thioether functional groups in amino acids, coenzymes, cofactors, and various products of secondary metabolic pathways. The biosynthetic pathways for several sulfur-containing biomolecules require the substitution of sulfur for hydrogen at unreactive aliphatic or electron-rich aromatic carbon atoms. Examples discussed in this review include biotin, lipoic a...
متن کاملRadical S-Adenosylmethionine Enzymes
ing a H-atom from substrate. These and other kinetics studies demonstrated that PFL-AE could undergo multiple turnover events, with the 150 PFL activations per PFL-AE reported in Table 1 not the upper limit, but rather a number limited by the PFL:PFL-AE ratio in the steady-state kinetics assays. As can be seen from the data summarized in Table 1, PFL-AE is one of the few radical SAM enzymes dem...
متن کاملParamagnetic Intermediates Generated by Radical S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) Enzymes
A [4Fe-4S](+) cluster reduces a bound S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) molecule, cleaving it into methionine and a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical (5'-dA(•)). This step initiates the varied chemistry catalyzed by each of the so-called radical SAM enzymes. The strongly oxidizing 5'-dA(•) is quenched by abstracting a H-atom from a target species. In some cases, this species is an exogenous molecule of substra...
متن کاملSPASM and twitch domains in S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) radical enzymes.
S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM, also known as AdoMet) radical enzymes use SAM and a [4Fe-4S] cluster to catalyze a diverse array of reactions. They adopt a partial triose-phosphate isomerase (TIM) barrel fold with N- and C-terminal extensions that tailor the structure of the enzyme to its specific function. One extension, termed a SPASM domain, binds two auxiliary [4Fe-4S] clusters and is present wi...
متن کاملReversible H Atom Abstraction Catalyzed by the Radical S-Adenosylmethionine Enzyme HydG
The organometallic H-cluster at the active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenases is synthesized by three accessory proteins, two of which are radical S-adenosylmethionine enzymes (HydE, HydG) and one of which is a GTPase (HydF). In this work we probed the specific role of H atom abstraction in HydG-catalyzed carbon monoxide and cyanide production from tyrosine. The isotope distributions of 5'-deoxyadenos...
