- W2076558529 abstract "Archaeal and eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 contain a unique post-translationally modified histidine residue called diphthamide, which is the target of diphtheria toxin. The biosynthesis of diphthamide was proposed to involve three steps, with the first being the formation of a C–C bond between the histidine residue and the 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl group of S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM). However, further details of the biosynthesis remain unknown. Here we present structural and biochemical evidence showing that the first step of diphthamide biosynthesis in the archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii uses a novel iron–sulphur-cluster enzyme, Dph2. Dph2 is a homodimer and each of its monomers can bind a [4Fe–4S] cluster. Biochemical data suggest that unlike the enzymes in the radical SAM superfamily, Dph2 does not form the canonical 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical. Instead, it breaks the Cγ,Met–S bond of SAM and generates a 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl radical. Our results suggest that P. horikoshii Dph2 represents a previously unknown, SAM-dependent, [4Fe–4S]-containing enzyme that catalyses unprecedented chemistry. Diphthamide, the target of diphtheria toxin, is a post-translationally modified histidine residue in archaeal and eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 (EF2). It has been studied for more than three decades, but some aspects of its mechanism of biosynthesis remain elusive. The process is thought to involve three steps, the first being the formation of a C–C bond between the histidine residue and the 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl group of S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM). A study of the archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii now shows that in this organism at least, the first step in diphthamide biosynthesis requires an unusual iron–sulphur cluster enzyme, Dph2. Biochemical data suggest that — in contrast to the mechanism in other radical SAM enzymes — Dph2 breaks the CγMet–S bond of the SAM cofactor. The enzyme then transfers the 3-amino-3-carboxylpropyl group to EF2, possibly via a radical mechanism. Translation elongation factor 2 (EF2) from archaea and eukaryotes contains a unique, post-translationally modified histidine residue called diphthamide, which is the target of diphtheria toxin. The biosynthesis of diphthamide involves three steps; here it is shown that the first step in the archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii requires an unusual iron–sulphur-cluster enzyme, Dph2. It catalyses unprecedented chemistry." @default.
