Structure and function of radical SAM enzymes.
'Radical SAM' enzymes juxtapose a [4Fe-4S] cluster and S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) to generate catalytic 5'-deoxyadenosyl radicals. The crystal structures of oxygen-independent coproporphyrinogen III oxidase HemN and biotin synthase reveal the positioning of both cofactors with respect to each other and relative to the surrounding protein environment. Each is found in an unprecedented coordin...
متن کاملMechanistic and functional versatility of radical SAM enzymes
Enzymes of the radical SAM (RS) superfamily catalyze a diverse assortment of reactions that proceed via intermediates containing unpaired electrons. The radical initiator is the common metabolite S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM), which is reductively cleaved to generate a 5'-deoxyadenosyl 5'-radical, a universal and obligate intermediate among enzymes within this class. A bioinformatics study that...
متن کاملCarbon extension in peptidylnucleoside biosynthesis by radical-SAM enzymes
Nikkomycins and polyoxins are antifungal peptidylnucleoside antibiotics active against human and plant pathogens. Here we report that during peptidylnucleoside biosynthesis in Streptomyces cacaoi and S. tendae, the C5' extension of the nucleoside essential for downstream structural diversification is catalyzed by a conserved radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzyme, PolH or NikJ. This is di...
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...
