Crystallographic snapshots of a B12-dependent radical SAM methyltransferase

Cameron D. Fyfe et al.

Summary: Methyl-coenzyme M reductase plays a central role in regulating global methane levels. The study of Methanosarcina acetivorans' Mmp10 provides insights into its unique enzyme structure and catalytic control mechanism, as well as the structural changes prior to catalysis. This research is important for understanding the catalytic mechanism of the emerging superfamily of B-12-dependent radical SAM enzymes.

Structure of a B-12-dependent radical SAM enzyme in carbapenem biosynthesis

Summary: Carbapenems are potent and broad-spectrum antibiotics that are considered as the last line of defense in the clinic. Their vital role is highlighted in the treatment of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The unique C6 hydroxyethyl side chain distinguishes carbapenems from other beta-lactam antibiotics and protects them from inactivation by beta-lactamase. The construction of this side chain is mediated by cobalamin- or B-12-dependent radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzymes.

Structural basis for non-radical catalysis by TsrM, a radical SAM methylase

Hayley L. Knox et al.

Summary: The crystal structures of a cobalamin-dependent radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) methylase reveal an unexpected mechanism involving substrate-assisted catalysis with the carboxylate group of SAM serving as a general base. Tryptophan 2C methyltransferase (TsrM) methylates C2 of the indole ring of l-tryptophan during biosynthesis of thiostrepton's quinaldic acid moiety. The structures of TsrM from Kitasatospora setae show an essential arginine residue near the cobalamin cofactor, and a [4Fe-4S] cluster ligated by a glutamyl residue and three cysteines in a canonical CXXXCXXC RS motif. Substrate-assisted catalysis is suggested by structures in the presence of substrates, where the carboxylate group of SAM acts as a general base to deprotonate N1 of the tryptophan substrate, facilitating the formation of a C2 carbanion.
