Crystal structure of Mycoibacterium tuberculosis Rv2983 in complex with PEP
Structural highlights
FunctionFBID_MYCTU Guanylyltransferase that catalyzes the activation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) as enolpyruvoyl-2-diphospho-5'-guanosine, via the condensation of PEP with GTP. It is involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme F420, a hydride carrier cofactor.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_02114][1] Publication Abstract from PubMedCofactor F420 plays critical roles in primary and secondary metabolism in a range of bacteria and archaea as a low-potential hydride transfer agent. It mediates a variety of important redox transformations involved in bacterial persistence, antibiotic biosynthesis, pro-drug activation and methanogenesis. However, the biosynthetic pathway for F420 has not been fully elucidated: neither the enzyme that generates the putative intermediate 2-phospho-L-lactate, nor the function of the FMN-binding C-terminal domain of the gamma-glutamyl ligase (FbiB) in bacteria are known. Here we present the structure of the guanylyltransferase FbiD and show that, along with its archaeal homolog CofC, it accepts phosphoenolpyruvate, rather than 2-phospho-L-lactate, as the substrate, leading to the formation of the previously uncharacterized intermediate dehydro-F420-0. The C-terminal domain of FbiB then utilizes FMNH2 to reduce dehydro-F420-0, which produces mature F420 species when combined with the gamma-glutamyl ligase activity of the N-terminal domain. These new insights have allowed the heterologous production of F420 from a recombinant F420 biosynthetic pathway in Escherichia coli.
