STRUCTURE OF COENZYME F420 DEPENDENT TETRAHYDROMETHANOPTERIN REDUCTASE FROM METHANOBACTERIUM THERMOAUTOTROPHICUM
Overview
Coenzyme F(420)-dependent methylenetetrahydromethanopterin reductase (Mer), is an enzyme of the Cl metabolism in methanogenic and sulfate reducing, archaea. It is composed of identical 35-40 kDa subunits and lacks a, prosthetic group. The crystal structure of Mer from Methanopyrus kandleri, (kMer) revealed in one crystal form a dimeric and in another a tetrameric, oligomerisation state and that from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, (tMer) a dimeric state. Each monomer is primarily composed of a TIM-barrel, fold enlarged by three insertion regions. Insertion regions 1 and 2, contribute to intersubunit interactions. Insertion regions 2 and 3, together with the C-terminal end of the TIM-barrel core form a cleft where, the binding sites of coenzyme F(420) and methylene-tetrahydromethanopterin, are postulated. Close to the coenzyme F(420)-binding site lies a rarely, observed non-prolyl cis-peptide bond. It is surprising that Mer is, structurally most similar to a bacterial FMN-dependent luciferase which, contains a non-prolyl cis-peptide bond at the equivalent position. The, structure of Mer is also related to that of NADP-dependent FAD-harbouring, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MetF). However, Mer and MetF do not, show sequence similarities although they bind related substrates and, catalyze an analogous reaction.
