Menaquinone Biosynthesis: Formation of Aminofutalosine Requires a Unique Radical SAM Enzyme
摘要:
Menaquinone (MK, vitamin K-2) is a lipid-soluble molecule that participates in the bacterial electron transport chain. In mammalian cells, MK functions as an essential vitamin for the activation of various proteins involved in blood clotting and bone metabolism. Recently, a new pathway for the biosynthesis of this cofactor was discovered in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) in which chorismate is converted to aminofutalosine in a reaction catalyzed by MqnA and an unidentified enzyme. Here, we reconstitute the biosynthesis of aminofutalosine and demonstrate that the missing enzyme (aminofutalosine synthase, MqnE) is a radical SAM enzyme that catalyzes the addition of the adenosyl radical to the double bond of 3-[(1-carboxyvinyl)oxy]benzoic acid. This is a new reaction type in the radical SAM superfamily.

Futalosine, a new nucleoside analog, was isolated from a fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. MK359-NF1. Some chemical derivatives of futalosine were prepared. 6-O-Methylfutalosine methylester inhibited growth of HeLa-S3 cells in vitro (IC50 = 19.5 micrograms/ml) in contrast to the weak activity of futalosine. 6-O-Methylfutalosine methylester at concentrations higher than 10 micrograms/ml inhibited
Futalosine is a naturally occurring nucleoside comprised of an inosine core with a 3-carboxyphenyl methylene ketone functionality replacing the C-5' hydroxyl. Recent studies have shown that it is a key intermediate in an alternative biosynthetic pathway that generates menaquinone in a variety of bacterial species. Here we report the first synthesis of futalosine in seven steps from inosine in an overall 17% yield. This work will enable further studies on menaquinone biosynthesis in pathogenic bacteria.

Proteins of unknown function belonging to cog1816 and cog0402 were characterized. Sav2595 from Steptomyces avermitilis MA-4680, Ace10264 from Acidothermus cellulolyticus 11B, Nis0429 from Nitratiruptor sp. SB155-2 and Dr0824 from Deinococcus radiodurans R1 were cloned, purified, and their substrate profiles determined. These enzymes were previously incorrectly annotated as adenosine deaminases or chlorohydrolases. It was shown here that these enzymes actually deaminate 6-aminodeoxyfutalosine. The deamination of 6-aminodeoxyfutalosine is part of an alternative menaquinone biosynthetic pathway that involves the formation of futalosine. 6-Aminodeoxyfutalosine is deaminated by these enzymes with catalytic efficiencies greater than 106 M-1 s(-1), Km values of 0.9-6.0 mu M, and k(cat) values of 1.2-8.6 Adenosine, 2'-deoxyadenosine, thiomethyladenosine, and S-adenosylhomocysteine are deaminated at least an order of magnitude slower than 6-aminodeoxyfutalosine. The crystal structure of Nis0429 was determined and the substrate, 6-aminodeoxyfutalosine, was positioned in the active site on the basis of the presence of adventitiously bound benzoic acid. In this model, Ser-145 interacts with the carboxylate moiety of the substrate. The structure of.Dr0824 was also determined, but a collapsed active site pocket prevented docking of substrates. A computational model of Sav2595 was built on the basis of the crystal structure of adenosine deaminase and substrates were docked. The model predicted a conserved arginine after beta-strand 1 to be partially responsible for the substrate specificity of Sav2595.
