A Methanocaldococcus jannaschii archaeal signature gene encodes for a 5-formaminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-(beta)-D-ribofuranosyl 5'-monophosphate synthetase: a new enzyme in purine biosynthesis.
Ownby K., Xu H., White R.H.
We have identified and characterized a new member of the ATP-grasp enzyme family that catalyzes the ATP- and formate-dependent formylation of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl 5'-monophosphate (AICAR) to 5-formaminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl 5'-monophosphate ... >> More
We have identified and characterized a new member of the ATP-grasp enzyme family that catalyzes the ATP- and formate-dependent formylation of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl 5'-monophosphate (AICAR) to 5-formaminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl 5'-monophosphate (FAICAR) in the absence of folates. The enzyme, which we designate as PurP, is the product of the Methanocaldococcus jannaschii purP gene (MJ0136), which is a signature gene for Archaea. As is characteristic of reactions catalyzed by this family of enzymes, the other products of the reaction, ADP and P(i), were produced stoichiometrically with the amount of ATP, formate, and AICAR used. Formyl phosphate was found to substitute for ATP and formate in the reaction, yet the methylene analog, phosphonoacetaldehyde, was not an inhibitor or substrate for the reaction. The enzyme, along with PurO, which catalyzes the cyclization of FAICAR to inosine 5'-monophosphate, catalyzes the same overall transformation in purine biosynthesis as is accomplished by PurH in bacteria and eukaryotes. No homology exists between PurH and either PurO or PurP. 1H NMR and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of an M. jannaschii cell extract showed the presence of free formate that can be used by the enzyme for purine biosynthesis. This formate arises by the reduction of CO2 with hydrogen; this was demonstrated by incorporating 13C into the formate when M. jannaschii cell extracts were incubated with H13CO3- and hydrogen gas. The presence of this signature gene in all of the Archaea indicates the presence of a purine biosynthetic pathway proceeding in the absence of folate coenzymes. << Less
