5'-deoxyadenosine deaminase (also known as "DadD") is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5′-deoxyadenosine to 5′-deoxyinosine.[1][2] To a lesser extent, the enzyme also catalyzes the deamination of 5′-methylthioadenosine, S-adenosylhomocysteine, and adenosine.[1] The molecular mass of the DadD enzyme is approximately 230 kDa.[1] DadD maintains 90% of its enzymatic activity after being heated at 60 degrees Celsius for ten minutes.[1] The preferred pH for 5'deoxyadenosine deaminase is 9.0, with the enzyme denaturing at a pH of 11.[1] The DadD enzyme has a preferred substrate of 5'deoxyadenosine, though it will also react with 5′-methylthioadenosine, S-adenosylhomocysteine, and adenosine at lower efficiencies.[1]
Enzyme identification
editThe EC number of 5'-deoxyadenosine deaminase is EC:3.5.4.41.[1] The Enzyme Commission Number is a system of classifying enzymes based on the reactions that the enzyme catalyzes.[3] Due to EC number not being attached to specific enzymes, but rather the enzyme catalyzed reaction, a single EC number could describe a variety of enzymes that catalyze the same reaction.[4] The UniProt id number for 5'-deoxyadenosine deaminase is Q58936. This number is specific to the enzyme itself, not just the reaction it catalyzes.
Reaction pathway
edit5'-deoxyadenosine deaminase catalyses the salvage pathway of 5'-deoxyadenosine to 5'-deoxyinosine following the reaction pathway of .[1][5] In this reaction 5'-deoxyadenosine is converted to 5'-deoxyinosine with ammonia as a byproduct.[1][5]
Structure
editThe enzyme has many active sites, with some of them specifically being metal binding sites that interact with zinc.[1] The metal binding sites are located at positions 55, 57, 203, and 292.[5] Additional binding sites include positions 84, 176, 206, and 292.[5] The solved crystal structure of 5'-deoxyadenosine deaminase can be found in the SMR database here.
Variation across species
editThe DadD enzyme is unique in that it has only been discovered in a single organism; a thermophilic methanogenic archaean named Methanocaldococcus jannaschii.[1] In methanogens such as Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, the typical metabolism pathway of salvaging radical SAM reaction products cannot be used, due to a lack of the enzyme MTA/SAH nucleosidase (EC 3.2.2.9).[1] Salvaging radical SAM reaction products is important for methanogens.[1] Without a salvage pathway, 5'-deoxyadenosine would build up, and inhibit the processes of biotin synthase (BioB) and lipoyl synthase (LipA).[1][6] The DadD enzyme offers a mechanism for methanogens to salvage these SAM reaction products without the use of MTA/SAH nucleosidase.[1]
