COPROPORPHYRINOGEN III OXIDASE (HEMN) FROM ESCHERICHIA COLI IS A RADICAL SAM ENZYME.
Overview
'Radical SAM' enzymes generate catalytic radicals by combining a 4Fe-4S, cluster and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) in close proximity. We present the, first crystal structure of a Radical SAM enzyme, that of HemN, the, Escherichia coli oxygen-independent coproporphyrinogen III oxidase, at, 2.07 A resolution. HemN catalyzes the essential conversion of, coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX during heme biosynthesis., HemN binds a 4Fe-4S cluster through three cysteine residues conserved in, all Radical SAM enzymes. A juxtaposed SAM coordinates the fourth Fe ion, through its amide nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen. The SAM sulfonium, sulfur is near both the Fe (3.5 A) and a neighboring sulfur of the cluster, (3.6 A), allowing single electron transfer from the 4Fe-4S cluster to the, SAM ... [(full description)]
