Monovalent Cation Activation of the Radical SAM Enzyme Pyruvate Formate-Lyase Activating Enzyme
Pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme (PFL-AE) is a radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) enzyme that installs a catalytically essential glycyl radical on pyruvate formate-lyase. We show that PFL-AE binds a catalytically essential monovalent cation at its active site, yet another parallel with B12 enzymes, and we characterize this cation site by a combination of structural, biochemical, and ...
متن کاملAltered fermentative metabolism in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutants lacking pyruvate formate lyase and both pyruvate formate lyase and alcohol dehydrogenase.
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a unicellular green alga, often experiences hypoxic/anoxic soil conditions that activate fermentation metabolism. We isolated three Chlamydomonas mutants disrupted for the pyruvate formate lyase (PFL1) gene; the encoded PFL1 protein catalyzes a major fermentative pathway in wild-type Chlamydomonas cells. When the pfl1 mutants were subjected to dark fermentative condit...
متن کاملStructural basis for glycyl radical formation by pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme.
Pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme generates a stable and catalytically essential glycyl radical on G(734) of pyruvate formate-lyase via the direct, stereospecific abstraction of a hydrogen atom from pyruvate formate-lyase. The activase performs this remarkable feat by using an iron-sulfur cluster and S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), thus placing it among the AdoMet radical superfamily of e...
متن کاملPyruvate formate-lyase-activating enzyme: strictly anaerobic isolation yields active enzyme containing a [3Fe-4S](+) cluster.
Pyruvate formate-lyase-activating enzyme (PFL-AE) from Escherichia coli (E. coli) catalyzes the stereospecific abstraction of a hydrogen atom from Gly734 of pyruvate formate-lyase (PFL) in a reaction that is strictly dependent on the cosubstrate S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet). Although PFL-AE is an iron-dependent enzyme, isolation of the enzyme with its metal center intact has proven difficul...
متن کاملThe pyruvate formate-lyase system of Streptococcus faecalis. I. Purification and properties of the formate-pyruvate exchange enzyme.
The enzyme exchanging formate with the carboxyl of pyruvate was purified 195-fold from extracts of Streptococcus fuecalis by a procedure involving protamine treatment, dialysis, and gradient centrifugation. Centrifugation of protamine-treated extract in a 10 to 40% potassium tartrate gradient provided a 65-fold purhication and separated the exchange enzyme from pyruvate decarboxylase, acetolact...
