摘要

RlmN and Cfr are Radical SAM enzymes that modify a single ade-nosine nucleotide-A2503-in 23S ribosomal RNA. This nucleotide is positioned within the peptidyl transferase center of the ribo-some, which is a target of numerous antibiotics. An unusual feature of these enzymes is their ability to carry out methylation of amidine carbons of the adenosine substrate. To gain insight into the mechanism of methylation catalyzed by RImN and Cfr, deuterium labeling experiments were carried out. These experiments demonstrate that the newly introduced methyl group is assembled from an S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-derived methylene fragment and a hydrogen atom that had migrated from the substrate amidine carbon. Rather than activating the adenosine nucleotide of the substrate by hydrogen atom abstraction from an amidine carbon, the 5 -deoxyadenosyl radical abstracts hydrogen from the second equivalent of SAM to form the SAM-derived radical cation. This species, or its corresponding sulfur ylide, subsequently adds into the substrate, initiating hydride shift and 5-adenosylho-mocysteine elimination to complete the formation of the methyl group. These findings indicate that rather than acting as methyl-transferases, RlmN and Cfr are methyl synthases. Together with the previously described 5-deoxyadenosyl and 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl radicals, these findings demonstrate that all three carbon atoms attached to the sulfonium center in SAM can serve as precursors to carbon-derived radicals in enzymatic reactions.
