The first step of diphthamide biosynthesis in archaebacteria is catalyzed by Dph2, a homodimeric radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzyme having a noncanonical architecture. Here, we describe a 3.5 A resolution crystal structure of the Methanobrevibacter smithii (Ms) Dph2 homodimer bound to two molecules of MsEF-2, one of which is ordered and the other largely disordered. MsEF-2 is bound to both protomers of MsDph2, with domain IV bound to the active site of one protomer and domain III bound to a surface alpha-helix of an adjacent protomer. The histidine substrate of domain IV is inserted into the active site, which reveals for the first time the architecture of the Dph2 active site in complex with its target substrate. We also determined a high-resolution crystal structure of isolated MsDph2 bound to 5'-methylthioadenosine that shows a conserved arginine residue preoriented by conserved phenylalanine and aspartate residues for binding the carboxylate group of SAM. Mutagenesis experiments suggest that the arginine plays an important role in the first step of diphthamide biosynthesis.
