AlbA is a radical SAM enzyme catalyzing the formation of three unusual thioether bonds in the antibiotic subtilosin A. We demonstrate here that AlbA catalyzes direct Cα H-atom abstraction and likely contains three essential [4Fe-4S] centers. This leads us to propose novel mechanistic perspectives for thioether bond catalysis by radical SAM enzymes.
AlbA是一种自由基S-腺苷甲硫氨酸酶,可催化抗生素枯草菌素A中三个不寻常硫醚键的形成。我们在此证明,AlbA催化直接的Cα氢原子提取,并且可能包含三个必需的[4Fe-4S]中心。这使我们对自由基S-腺苷甲硫氨酸酶催化硫醚键的过程提出了新的机制观点。
