ABSTRACT

Post translational modifications of ribosomal proteins are important for the accuracy of the decoding machinery. A recent in vivo study has shown that the rimO gene was involved in generation of the 3-methylthio derivative of residue asp-89 in ribosomal protein S12 (Anton, B. P., et al. (2008) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 105, 1826-1831). This reaction is formally identical to that catalyzed by MiaB on the C2 of adenosine-37 near the anticodon of several tRNAs. We herein present spectroscopic evidence that T. maritima RimO, like MiaB, contains two [4Fe-4S] centers, one presumably bound to three invariant cysteines in the central radical-SAM domain and the other to three invariant cysteines in the N-terminal UPF0004 domain. We demonstrate that holo RimO can specifically methylthiolate the aspartate residue of a 20-mer peptide derived from S12, yielding a mixture of mono- and bis-methylthio derivatives. Finally, we present the 2.0 angstrom crystal structure of the central radical-SAM and the C-terminal TRAM domains in apo RimO. While the core of the open TIM-barrel of the radical-SAM domain is conserved, RimO shows differences in domain organization compared to other radical-SAM enzymes. The unusually acidic TRAM domain, likely to bind the basic S12 protein, is located at the distal edge of the radical-SAM domain. The basic S12 protein substrate is likely to bind RimO through interactions with both the TRAM domain and the concave surface of the incomplete TIM-barrel. These biophysical results provide a foundation for understanding the mechanism of methylthioation by radical-SAM enzymes in the MiaB/RimO family.
