Interaction of PqqE and PqqD in the pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) biosynthetic pathway links PqqD to the radical SAM superfamily

Stephen R Wecksler et al. Chem Commun (Camb). .

Abstract

pqqD is one of six genes required for PQQ production in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Herein, we demonstrate that PqqD interacts specifically with the radical SAM enzyme PqqE, causing a perturbation in the electronic environment around the [4Fe-4S](+) clusters. This interaction redirects the role for PqqD in PQQ biosynthesis.
