摘要: Bioconversion of peptidyl amino acids into enzyme cofactors is an important post-translational modification. Here, we report a flavoprotein, essential for biosynthesis protein-derived quinone cofactor, cysteine tryptophylquinone, contained in widely distributed bacterial enzyme, quinohemoprotein amine dehydrogenase. The purified flavoprotein catalyzes the single-turnover dihydroxylation tryptophylquinone-precursor, tryptophan, protein substrate containing triple intra-peptidyl crosslinks that are pre-formed by radical S-adenosylmethionine within ternary complex these proteins. Crystal structure tryptophan dihydroxylase reveals large pocket may dock with bound flavin adenine dinucleotide situated close to precursor tryptophan. Based on enzyme-protein docking model, propose chemical reaction mechanism catalyzed monooxygenase. diversity tryptophylquinone-generating systems suggests convergent evolution tryptophan-derived different An type modification conversion acid cofactor. authors functional and structural characterization monooxygenase tryptophylquinone (CTQ)
