Genetic and biochemical characterization of a radical SAM enzyme required for post-translational glutamine methylation of methyl-coenzyme M reductase.

PubMed Abstract: Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR), the key catalyst in the anoxic production and consumption of methane, contains an unusual 2-methylglutamine residue within its active site. data show that a B12-dependent radical SAM (rSAM) enzyme, designated MgmA, is responsible for this post-translational modification (PTM). Here, we show that two different MgmA homologs are able to methylate MCR when expressed in , an organism that does not normally possess this PTM. strains expressing MgmA showed small, but significant, reductions in growth rates and yields on methylotrophic substrates. Structural characterization of the Ni(II) form of Gln-methylated MCR revealed no significant differences in the protein fold between the modified and unmodified enzyme; however, the purified enzyme contained the heterodisulfide reaction product, as opposed to the free cofactors found in eight prior MCR structures, suggesting that substrate/product binding is altered in the modified enzyme. Structural characterization of MgmA revealed a fold similar to other B12-dependent rSAMs, with a wide active site cleft capable of binding an McrA peptide in an extended, linear conformation.IMPORTANCEMethane plays a key role in the global carbon cycle and is an important driver of climate change. Because MCR is responsible for nearly all biological methane production and most anoxic methane consumption, it plays a major role in setting the atmospheric levels of this important greenhouse gas. Thus, a detailed understanding of this enzyme is critical for the development of methane mitigation strategies.
