Structure of Cobalamin-dependent S-adenosylmethionine radical enzyme OxsB with aqua-cobalamin bound
Structural highlights
FunctionOXSB_PRIMG Isomerase involved in the biosynthesis of oxetanocin A (OXT-A), a nucleoside analog with antitumor, antiviral and antibacterial properties (PubMed:28346939, PubMed:33560833). Catalyzes an oxidative ring contraction of dAMP, forming an oxetane aldehyde (PubMed:28346939, PubMed:33560833). In addition, shows methyltransferase activity in vitro and is able to catalyze the radical mediated, stereoselective C2'-methylation of dAMP to form methylated 2'-dAMP (PubMed:33560833, PubMed:36719327). Also catalyzes the demethylation of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) (PubMed:33560833).[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedOxetanocin A (OXT-A) is a potent antitumour, antiviral and antibacterial compound. Biosynthesis of OXT-A has been linked to a plasmid-borne Bacillus megaterium gene cluster that contains four genes: oxsA, oxsB, oxrA and oxrB. Here we show that both the oxsA and oxsB genes are required for the production of OXT-A. Biochemical analysis of the encoded proteins, a cobalamin (Cbl)-dependent S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) radical enzyme, OxsB, and an HD-domain phosphohydrolase, OxsA, reveals that OXT-A is derived from a 2'-deoxyadenosine phosphate in an OxsB-catalysed ring contraction reaction initiated by hydrogen atom abstraction from C2'. Hence, OxsB represents the first biochemically characterized non-methylating Cbl-dependent AdoMet radical enzyme. X-ray analysis of OxsB reveals the fold of a Cbl-dependent AdoMet radical enzyme, a family of enzymes with an estimated 7,000 members. Overall, this work provides a framework for understanding the interplay of AdoMet and Cbl cofactors and expands the catalytic repertoire of Cbl-dependent AdoMet radical enzymes.
