description | This entry represents coenzyme PQQ biosynthesis protein E, which is a prototypical peptide-cyclising radical SAM enzyme. It links a Tyr to a Glu as the first step in the biosynthesis of pyrrolo-quinoline-quinone (coenzyme PQQ) from the precursor peptide PqqA. PQQ is required for some glucose dehydrogenases and alcohol dehydrogenases.This entry also includes some other radical SAM enzymes, such as tungsten-containing aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase cofactor-modifying protein, adoMet-dependent heme synthase []and Fe-coproporphyrin III synthase []. |
