[PHNG_ECOLI] Together with PhnH, PhnI and PhnL is required for the transfer of the ribose triphosphate moiety from ATP to methyl phosphonate. [PHNI_ECOLI] Together with PhnG, PhnH and PhnL is required for the transfer of the ribose triphosphate moiety from ATP to methyl phosphonate. PhnI alone has nucleosidase activity, catalyzing the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP forming alpha-D-ribose 5-triphosphate and adenine or guanine, respectively. [PHNH_ECOLI] Together with PhnG, PhnI and PhnL is required for the transfer of the ribose triphosphate moiety from ATP to methyl phosphonate. Publication Abstract from PubMed Phosphorus is required for all life and microorganisms can extract it from their environment through several metabolic pathways. When phosphate is in limited supply, some bacteria are able to use phosphonate compounds, which require specialized enzymatic machinery to break the stable carbon-phosphorus (C-P) bond. Despite its importance, the details of how this machinery catabolizes phosphonates remain unknown. Here we determine the crystal structure of the 240-kilodalton Escherichia coli C-P lyase core complex (PhnG-PhnH-PhnI-PhnJ; PhnGHIJ), and show that it is a two-fold symmetric hetero-octamer comprising an intertwined network of subunits with unexpected self-homologies. It contains two potential active sites that probably couple phosphonate compounds to ATP and subsequently hydrolyse the C-P bond. We map the binding site of PhnK on the complex using electron microscopy, and show that it binds to a conserved insertion domain of PhnJ. Our results provide a structural basis for understanding microbial phosphonate breakdown.
