'''Structure of MoaA in complex with 5'-GTP'''<br />
'''Structure of MoaA in complex with 5'-GTP'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
The first step in molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, the conversion of, 5'-GTP to precursor Z, an oxygen-sensitive tetrahydropyranopterin is, catalyzed by the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent enzyme MoaA and the, accessory protein MoaC. This reaction involves the radical-initiated, intramolecular rearrangement of the guanine C8 atom. MoaA harbors an, N-terminal [4Fe-4S] cluster, which is involved in the reductive cleavage, of SAM and generates a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical (5'-dA*), and a C-terminal, [4Fe-4S] cluster presumably involved in substrate binding and/or, activation. Biochemical studies identified residues involved in 5'-GTP, binding and the determinants of nucleotide specificity. The crystal, structure of MoaA in complex with 5'-GTP confirms the biochemical data and, provides valuable insights into the subsequent radical reaction. MoaA, binds 5'-GTP with high affinity and interacts through its C-terminal, [4Fe-4S] cluster with the guanine N1 and N2 atoms, in a yet, uncharacterized binding mode. The tightly anchored triphosphate moiety, prevents the escape of radical intermediates. This structure also, visualizes the L-Met and 5'-dA cleavage products of SAM. Rotation of the, 5'-dA ribose and/or conformational changes of the guanosine are proposed, to bring the 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical into close proximity of either the, ribose C2' and C3' or the guanine C8 carbon atoms leading to hydrogen, abstraction.
