== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/COFE_ARCFU COFE_ARCFU] Catalyzes the GTP-dependent successive addition of two L-glutamates to the L-lactyl phosphodiester of 7,8-didemethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavin (F420-0) to form coenzyme F420-0-glutamyl-glutamate (F420-2), with a gamma-linkage between the two glutamates. May be able to add up to four gamma-linked glutamates, since F420-4 is a species that was isolated from A.fulgidus.<ref>PMID:17669425</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Poly-gamma-glutamate tails are a distinctive feature of archaeal, bacterial, and eukaryotic cofactors, including the folates and F(420). Despite decades of research, key mechanistic questions remain as to how enzymes successively add glutamates to poly-gamma-glutamate chains while maintaining cofactor specificity. Here, we show how poly-gamma-glutamylation of folate and F(420) by folylpolyglutamate synthases and gamma-glutamyl ligases, non-homologous enzymes, occurs via processive addition of L-glutamate onto growing gamma-glutamyl chain termini. We further reveal structural snapshots of the archaeal gamma-glutamyl ligase (CofE) in action, crucially including a bulged-chain product that shows how the cofactor is retained while successive glutamates are added to the chain terminus. This bulging substrate model of processive poly-gamma-glutamylation by terminal extension is arguably ubiquitous in such biopolymerisation reactions, including addition to folates, and demonstrates convergent evolution in diverse species from archaea to humans.
