Pyrroloquinoline quinone biogenesis: demonstration that PqqE from Klebsiella pneumoniae is a radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine enzyme.
Biogenesis of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) in Klebsiella pneumoniae requires the expression of six genes (pqqA-F). One of these genes (pqqE) encodes a 43 kDa protein (PqqE) that plays a role in the initial steps in PQQ formation [Veletrop, J. S., et al. (1995) J. Bacteriol. 177, 5088-5098]. PqqE contains two highly conserved cysteine motifs at the N- and C-termini, with the N-terminal motif c...
متن کاملS-Inosyl-L-Homocysteine Hydrolase, a Novel Enzyme Involved in S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine Recycling.
UNLABELLED S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine, the product of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) methyltransferases, is known to be a strong feedback inhibitor of these enzymes. A hydrolase specific for S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine produces L-homocysteine, which is remethylated to methionine and can be used to regenerate SAM. Here, we show that the annotated S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase in Methanocaldoco...
متن کاملCharacterization of auxiliary iron–sulfur clusters in a radical S‐adenosylmethionine enzyme PqqE from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1
PqqE is a radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) enzyme that catalyzes the initial reaction of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) biosynthesis. PqqE belongs to the SPASM (subtilosin/PQQ/anaerobic sulfatase/mycofactocin maturating enzymes) subfamily of the radical SAM superfamily and contains multiple Fe-S clusters. To characterize the Fe-S clusters in PqqE from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1, Cys r...
متن کامل7-Carboxy-7-deazaguanine Synthase: A Radical S-Adenosyl-l-methionine Enzyme with Polar Tendencies
Radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) enzymes are widely distributed and catalyze diverse reactions. SAM binds to the unique iron atom of a site-differentiated [4Fe-4S] cluster and is reductively cleaved to generate a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical, which initiates turnover. 7-Carboxy-7-deazaguanine (CDG) synthase (QueE) catalyzes a key step in the biosynthesis of 7-deazapurine containing natural pro...
متن کاملA cDNA encoding S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase from poplar.
Adomet synthetase (EC 2.5.1.6) catalyzes the formation of Adomet, which serves as a methyl group donor in highly specific transmethylation reactions involving a11 kinds of acceptor molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, phenylpropanoid derivatives, polysaccharides, cyclic fatty acids, etc. Adomet also plays a role in amino acid biosynthesis and polyamine biosynthesis. In plants, Adomet has ...
