EC 4.3.99.3

Names

Accepted name:
7-carboxy-7-deazaguanine synthase
Other names:
7-carboxy-7-carbaguanine synthase
queE (gene name)
Systematic name:
6-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin ammonia-lyase

Reaction

Cofactors

Comments:

Requires Mg2+. The enzyme is a member of the superfamily of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent radical (radical AdoMet) enzymes. Binds a [4Fe-4S] cluster that is coordinated by 3 cysteines and an exchangeable S-adenosyl-L-methionine molecule. The S-adenosyl-L-methionine is catalytic as it is regenerated at the end of the reaction. The reaction is part of the biosynthesis pathway of queuosine.
