FunFam 188: Mycofactocin radical SAM maturase MftC

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
PqqA peptide cyclase. [EC: 1.21.98.4]
A PqqA peptide + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = a PqqA peptide with linked Glu-Tyr residues + 5'-deoxyadenosine + L-methionine.
  • This bacterial enzyme, which is a member of the radical SAM protein family, catalyzes the formation of a C-C bond between C-4 of glutamate and C-3 of tyrosine residues of the PqqA protein (which are separated by three amino acid residues).
  • This is the first enzymic step in the biosynthesis of the bacterial enzyme cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ).
  • The reaction is dependent on the presence of flavodoxin and the accessory protein PqqD.
