FunctionCADD_CHLTR Involved in de novo para-aminobenzoate (PABA) biosynthesis (PubMed:23972426, PubMed:32967910, PubMed:36122239). Acts as a self-sacrificing or 'suicide' enzyme that utilizes its own active site tyrosine residue(s) as the substrate for PABA synthesis (PubMed:32967910, PubMed:36122239). The side chain of the tyrosine residue is released from the protein backbone via cleavage of the C(alpha)-C(beta) bond, leaving a glycine in place of the original tyrosine residue (PubMed:32967910, PubMed:36122239). Reaction requires O(2) and a reduced dimetal cofactor (PubMed:32967910, PubMed:36122239).[1] [2] [3] Was also identified as a specific toxin that associates with death domains of tumor necrosis factor family (TNF) receptors and induces apoptosis in mammalian cell lines through a Caspase-dependent mechanism.[4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedChlamydia protein associating with death domains (CtCADD) is involved in the biosynthesis of p-aminobenzoic acid (pABA) for integration into folate, a critical cofactor that is required for pathogenic survival. CADD activates dioxygen and utilizes its own tyrosine and lysine as synthons to furnish the carboxylate, carbon backbone, and amine group of pABA in a complex multistep mechanism. Unlike other members of the heme oxygenase-like dimetal oxidase (HDO) superfamily that typically house an Fe(2) cofactor, previous activity studies have shown that CtCADD likely uses a heterobimetallic Fe/Mn center. The structure of the Fe(2+)/Mn(2+) cofactor and how the conserved HDO scaffold mediates metal selectivity have remained enigmatic. Adopting an in crystallo metalation approach, CtCADD was solved in the apo, Fe(2+)(2), Mn(2+)(2), and catalytically active Fe(2+)/Mn(2+) forms to identify the probable site for Mn binding. The analysis of CtCADD active-site variants further reinforces the importance of the secondary coordination sphere on cofactor preference for competent pABA formation. Rapid kinetic optical and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies show that the heterobimetallic cofactor selectively reacts with dioxygen and likely initiates pABA assembly through the formation of a transient tyrosine radical intermediate and a resultant heterobimetallic Mn(3+)/Fe(3+) cluster.
