Catalyzes the condensation of aspartate with deoxyguanylate into dSMP (N6-succino-2-amino-2'-deoxyadenylate), which undergoes defumarylation and phosphorylation respectively by host PurB and guanylate/nucleoside diphosphate kinases to give dZTP (PubMed:33926955). dZTP is integrated into the viral genome instead of adenine by the viral DNA polymerase. This Z-base probably completely replaces adenosine and forms a triple bond to the opposite T-base (PubMed:33926955). The resulting non-standard viral DNA is called Z-genome (PubMed:33926955). The chemically modified DNA is probably harder for the host bacteria to digest with nucleases or restriction enzymes (Probable).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04166] Publication Abstract from PubMed Cells have two purine pathways that synthesize adenine and guanine ribonucleotides from phosphoribose via inosylate. A chemical hybrid between adenine and guanine, 2-aminoadenine (Z), replaces adenine in the DNA of the cyanobacterial virus S-2L. We show that S-2L and Vibrio phage PhiVC8 encode a third purine pathway catalyzed by PurZ, a distant paralog of succinoadenylate synthase (PurA), the enzyme condensing aspartate and inosylate in the adenine pathway. PurZ condenses aspartate with deoxyguanylate into dSMP (N6-succino-2-amino-2'-deoxyadenylate), which undergoes defumarylation and phosphorylation to give dZTP (2-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine-5'-triphosphate), a substrate for the phage DNA polymerase. Crystallography and phylogenetics analyses indicate a close relationship between phage PurZ and archaeal PurA enzymes. Our work elucidates the biocatalytic innovation that remodeled a DNA building block beyond canonical molecular biology.
