enzyme mechanism, detailed overview. MftC catalyzes the formation of two products from substrate MftA, 13C NMR and 1H NMR analysis of substrate, intermediates and products. The major product of the MftC reaction is a Val-Tyr* crosslinked peptide formed through two S-adenosylmethionine-dependent turnovers. The hydroxyl group on MftA Tyr30 is required for MftC catalysis

MftC abstracts a hydrogen atom from the beta-carbon of the C-terminal Tyr residue. The resulting radical species is stabilized by the adjacent phenol ring. One can envision at least two plausible routes both ending with the oxidative decarboxylation of the C-terminus. The top pathway shows transfer of the unpaired spin from the radical intermediate to a [4Fe-4S] cluster concomitant with decarboxylation to form the final product. Alternatively, the Calpha-COOH bond can be homolytically cleaved resulting in the formation of a radical-COOH species that can either be quenched to formate or CO2

enzyme MftC catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of the C-terminal tyrosine (Tyr30) on the mycofactocin precursor peptide MftA. MftC catalyzes the formation of two MftA products annotated as MftA* and MftA**. The MftAM1W variant is used to increase the spectroscopic handle at 280 nm. The major product, MftA*, is a tyramine-valine-cross-linked peptide formed by MftC through two S-adenosylmethionine-dependent turnovers. In case of the reaction containing MftA M1W/V29A, HPLC analysis shows a a minor peak for MftA M1W/V29A* (10%) and a major peak for MftA M1W/V29A**. Substitution in the penultimate MftA Val29 position causes the accumulation of an MftA** minor product. The 1H-NMR spectrum indicates that this minor product contains an alpha/beta-unsaturated bond that likely arises from an aborted intermediate of MftA* synthesis

MftC reductively cleaves SAM to form a 5'-deoxyadenosine radical which in turn abstracts a hydrogen from the Cbeta of the C-terminal tyrosine. Following a subsequent abstraction of an electron from the substrate and the loss of the C-terminal carboxylate a new alpha/beta unsaturated bond is formed on the intermediate MftA**. In the next step of MftC catalysis, a second 5'-deoxyadenosine radical abstracts a hydrogen from the Cbeta of the penultimate valine residue. The Cbeta radical on the valine side chain forms a new bond with the sp2 hybridized C2 of the p-(2-aminoethenyl)phenol. As a result, the product from MftC catalysis, MftA*, contains a C-terminal 3-amino-5-[(p-hydroxyphenyl) methyl]-4,4-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone moiety

architecture and distribution of the mycofactocin biosynthetic cluster, mftABCDEF, among the Actinobacteria phylum, overview. MftC belongs to a RS enzyme subfamily that contains an elongated C-terminal domain annotated as a SPASM domain, members are subtilosin A, pyrroloquinoline quinone, anaerobic sulfatase maturating enzyme, and mycofactocin. PqqE and MftC belong to a select group of RS-SPASM proteins that have been shown to form carbon-carbon bonds on their respective precursor peptide. The proteins associated with the RS-SPASM subfamily are known peptide modifiers that have been shown to catalyze intramolecular C-S bonds and C-C bonds and oxidative decarboxylation reactions on the precursor peptide. The mft cluster is evenly distributed in the genomes of both slow and rapid growing mycobacteria including notable species such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Mycobacterium ulcerans, Mycobacterium marinum, and Mycobacterium vanbaalenii. The average sequence identity of all MftC proteins within the Mycobacterium genus to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv (Mtb) MftC is as high as 89%. Within the Actinobacteria phylum, the average sequence identity of MftC proteins to that of Mtb MftC remains quite high in genera such as Rhodococcus (79%), Nocardia (77%), Gordonia (79%), and Streptomyces (74%). But the sequence identity of MftC outside of the Actinobacteria undergoes a significant drop-off with averages in a range of 42% to 59%

evolution
the enzyme belongs to a subset of the RS proteins that modify peptides belong to the SPASM subfamily (subtilosin A, pyrroloquinoline quinone, anaerobic sulfatase maturating enzyme, and mycofactocin) and are annotated as RS-SPASM proteins. RS-SPASM proteins are comprised of a prototypical TIM barrel fold which binds the RS [4Fe-4S] cluster involved in the homolytic cleavage of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). In addition, they contain an elongated C-terminal SPASM domain which binds up to two additional auxiliary [Fe-S] clusters. The cluster proximal to the RS cluster (annotated as Aux I) is typically a [4Fe-4S] (with the exception of PqqE in which a [2Fe-2S] cluster is reported) and the distal cluster (designated as Aux II) is a [4Fe-4S] cluster. MftC is a RS-SPASM enzyme that performs the first modifying step in the biosynthesis of the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP), mycofactocin. The ability of MftC to redox-flip, or accommodate both oxidative to redox neutral reactions, is certainly unique to the RS-SPASM subfamily. The Aux I and Aux II clusters are required for catalysis, consistent with results shown for QhpD, AnSME, SCIFF, and PqqE
evolution
the enzyme belongs to the PqqE-like rSAM protein family, part of the radical SAM domain superfamily. Members occur clustered with a well-conserved small polypeptide mycofactocin, similar in size to bacteriocins and PqqA, precursor of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ). Partial phylogenetic profiling identifies the mycofactocin cluster. The mycofactocin precursor is modified by the gene Rv0693 family rSAM protein and other enzymes in its cluster. Rv0693 belongs to a branch of the radical SAM family in which known or presumed substrates are short peptides. The Rv0693 family radical SAM protein modifies the TIGR03969 family peptide to produce a bioactive molecule: a bacteriocin, a redox cofactor like PQQ, or a signaling metabolite such as Pep1357. The neighboring glycosyltransferase (Rv0696) likely also participates. Based on its near universal distribution in the genus Mycobacterium (among many other Actinobacteria), and analogy of its biosynthesis cluster to PQQ cofactor and bacteriocin biosynthesis clusters, the name mycofactocin is proposed for members of this family. Additional protein families co-cluster with the mycofactocin precursor, mycofactocin cluster-containing genomes and linked oxidoreductases, detailed overview

Potential molecular and physiological role of mycofactocin, and known biosynthetic steps involving MftA, MftB, MftC, and MftE in relation to pyrroloquinoline quinone biosynthesis, function of the remaining putative biosynthetic enzymes, MftD and MftF. Expression of the mycofactocin biosynthetic pathway is controlled by the regulator MftR, a member of the TetR family of regulators (TFRs). MftR is the mycofactocin regulator. In the first step of mycofactocin biosynthesis, MftC reductively cleaves SAM to form a 5'-deoxyadenosine radical which in turn abstracts a hydrogen from the Cbeta of the C-terminal tyrosine. Following a subsequent abstraction of an electron from the substrate and the loss of the C-terminal carboxylate, a new alpha/beta unsaturated bond is formed on the intermediate MftA**. In the next step of MftC catalysis, a second 5'-deoxyadenosine radical abstracts a hydrogen from the Cbeta of the penultimate valine residue. The Cbeta radical on the valine side chain forms a new bond with the sp2 hybridized C2 of the p-(2-aminoethenyl)phenol. As a result, the product from MftC catalysis, MftA*, contains a C-terminal 3-amino-5-[(p-hydroxyphenyl) methyl]-4,4-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone moiety
metabolism
following MftC modification, MftE hydrolyzes 3-amino-5-[(p-hydroxyphenyl) methyl]-4,4-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone (AHDP) moiety (MftA*) at the valine position, freeing AHDP from the peptide
metabolism
the MftA peptide belongs to the ribosomally-synthesized post-translationally modified peptides, RiPPs, that are encoded in the genomes of a wide variety of microorganisms. The mature RiPPs are derived from a precursor peptide, which is encoded by an orf in the genome, that is often extensively modified post-translationally. Interestingly, the orfs encoding for the modification enzymes are often clustered near the orf encoding for the precursor peptide in the genome of many RiPP producing organisms. Bioinformatic analysis shows that three of the orfs (mftA, mftB, and mftC) are clustered in at least 336 genomes (based on the interpro family IPR023850 for the mftB gene product MftB)

physiological function
MftC catalyzes the formation of two isomeric products. The major product, MftA*, is a tyramine-valine-cross-linked peptide formed by MftC through two S-adenosylmethionine-dependent turnovers. The hydroxyl group on MftA Tyr30 is required for MftC catalysis. A substitution in the penultimate substrate MftA Val29 position causes the accumulation of an MftA** minor product which contains an alphabeta-unsaturated bond that likely arises from an aborted intermediate of MftA* synthesis
physiological function
MftC is a RS-SPASM enzyme that performs the first modifying step in the biosynthesis of the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP), mycofactocin. The mycofactocin maturase, MftC, is a unique radical S-adenosylmethionine (RS, SAM) protein that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation and C-C bond formation on the precursor peptide MftA
physiological function
the enzyme substrate MftA is about 30-60 amino acids in length and contains a conserved C-terminal sequence (-IDGXCGVY). The C-terminus is putatively modified by the remaining gene products to form mycofactocin, which is anticipated to serve as a redox cofactor for other nicotinamide-dependent proteins. MftC is a radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (RS) protein responsible for the first step of the biosynthesis of mycofactocin. MftC catalyzes the formation of two isomeric MftA products annotated as MftA* and MftA**. And MftC catalyzes the conversion of MftA** to MftA*. MftC catalyzes a diverse array of chemical transformations, catalytic mechanism, overview
