Abstract

Radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzymes comprise a vast superfamily catalyzing diverse reactions essential to all life through homolytic SAM cleavage to liberate the highly reactive 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical (5'-dAdo·). Our recent observation of a catalytically competent organometallic intermediate Ω that forms during reaction of the radical SAM (RS) enzyme pyruvate formate-lyase activating-enzyme (PFL-AE) was therefore quite surprising, and led to the question of its broad relevance in the superfamily. We now show that Ω in PFL-AE forms as an intermediate under a variety of mixing order conditions, suggesting it is central to catalysis in this enzyme. We further demonstrate that Ω forms in a suite of RS enzymes chosen to span the totality of superfamily reaction types, implicating Ω as essential in catalysis across the RS superfamily. Finally, EPR and electron nuclear double resonance spectroscopy establish that Ω involves an Fe-C5' bond between 5'-dAdo· and the [4Fe-4S] cluster. An analogous organometallic bond is found in the well-known adenosylcobalamin (coenzyme B ₁₂) cofactor used to initiate radical reactions via a 5'- dAdo· intermediate. Liberation of a reactive 5'-dAdo· intermediate via homolytic metal-carbon bond cleavage thus appears to be similar for Ω and coenzyme B ₁₂. However, coenzyme B ₁₂ is involved in enzymesmore »« less

Paradigm Shift for Radical S-Adenosyl-L-methionine Reactions: The Organometallic Intermediate Ω Is Central to Catalysis

BciD Is a Radical S -Adenosyl- _L-methionine (SAM) Enzyme That Completes Bacteriochlorophyllide e Biosynthesis by Oxidizing a Methyl Group into a Formyl Group at C-7

Journal Article Thweatt, Jennifer L. ; Ferlez, Bryan H. ; Golbeck, John H. ; ... - Journal of Biological Chemistry

Green bacteria are chlorophotorophs that synthesize bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c, d, or e, which assemble into supramolecular, nanotubular structures in large light-harvesting structures called chlorosomes. The biosynthetic pathways of these chlorophylls are known except for one reaction. Null mutants of bciD, which encodes a putative radical $S$-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) protein, are unable to synthesize BChl e but accumulate BChl c; however, it is unknown whether BciD is sufficient to convert BChl c (or its precursor, bacteriochlorophyllide (BChlide) c) into BChl e (or BChlide e). To determine the function of BciD, we expressed the bciD gene of Chlorobaculum limnaeum strain DSMZ 1677 ^Tmore »« less

7-Carboxy-7-deazaguanine Synthase: A Radical S -Adenosyl- l -methionine Enzyme with Polar Tendencies

Journal Article Bruender, Nathan A. ; Grell, Tsehai A. J. ; Dowling, Daniel P. ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

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 products. 6-Carboxypterin (6-CP), an oxidized analogue of the natural substrate 6-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin (CPH4), is shown to be an alternate substrate for CDG synthase. Under reducing conditions that would promote the reductive cleavage of SAM, 6-CP is turned over to 6-deoxyadenosylpterin (6-dAP), presumably by radical addition of the 5'-deoxyadenosine followed by oxidativemore »« less

Radical S-Adenosyl-L-methionine Chemistry in the Synthesis of Hydrogenase and Nitrogenase Metal Cofactors

Journal Article Byer, Amanda S. ; Shepard, Eric M. ; Peters, John W. ; ... - Journal of Biological Chemistry

Nitrogenase, [FeFe]-hydrogenase, and [Fe]-hydrogenase enzymes perform catalysis at metal cofactors with biologically unusual non-protein ligands. Furthermore, the FeMo cofactor of nitrogenase has a MoFe ₇S ₉ cluster with a central carbon, whereas the H-cluster of [FeFe]-hydrogenase contains a 2Fe subcluster coordinated by cyanide and CO ligands as well as dithiomethylamine; the [Fe]-hydrogenase cofactor has CO and guanylylpyridinol ligands at a mononuclear iron site. Intriguingly, radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine enzymes are vital for the assembly of all three of these diverse cofactors. Here, in this minireview, we present and discuss the current state of knowledge of the radical S-adenosylmethionine enzymes required for synthesismore » of these remarkable metal cofactors.« less

Temporal study of acetaminophen (APAP) and S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe) effects on subcellular hepatic SAMe levels and methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) expression and activity

Journal Article Brown, J. Michael ; Ball, John G. ; Hogsett, Amy ; ... - Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology

Acetaminophen (APAP) is the leading cause of drug induced liver failure in the United States. Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe) is protective for APAP hepatic toxicity. SAMe is critical for glutathione synthesis and transmethylation of nucleic acids, proteins and phospholipids which would facilitate recovery from APAP toxicity. SAMe is synthesized in cells through the action of methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT). This study tested the hypothesis that total hepatic and subcellular SAMe levels are decreased by APAP toxicity. Studies further examined MAT expression and activity in response to APAP toxicity.
