Function
[HYDE_THEMA] Required for the maturation of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase HydA (By similarity). Catalyzes the reductive cleavage of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (in vitro), suggesting it may contribute to the biosynthesis of an essential sulfur-containing ligand that binds to the hydrogenase active site [2Fe-2S] cluster (PubMed:16137685).[UniProtKB:Q97IK9][1]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Carbon-sulfur bond formation at aliphatic positions is a challenging reaction that is performed efficiently by radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzymes. Here we report that 1,3-thiazolidines can act as ligands and substrates for the radical SAM enzyme HydE, which is involved in the assembly of the active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenase. Using X-ray crystallography, in vitro assays and NMR spectroscopy we identified a radical-based reaction mechanism that is best described as the formation of a C-centred radical that concomitantly attacks the sulfur atom of a thioether. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a radical SAM enzyme that reacts directly on a sulfur atom instead of abstracting a hydrogen atom. Using theoretical calculations based on our high-resolution structures we followed the evolution of the electronic structure from SAM through to the formation of S-adenosyl-L-cysteine. Our results suggest that, at least in this case, the widely proposed and highly reactive 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical species that triggers the reaction in radical SAM enzymes is not an isolable intermediate.
