== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Pyridomycin is a potent antimycobacterial natural product by specifically inhibiting InhA, a clinically validated antituberculosis drug discovery target. Pyridyl moieties of pyridomycin play an essential role in inhibiting InhA by occupying the reduced form of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) cofactor binding site. Herein, we biochemically characterize PyrZ that is a multifunctional NadC homologue and catalyzes the successive formation, dephosphorylation, and ribose hydrolysis of nicotinic acid mononucleotide (NAMN) to generate nicotinic acid (NA), a biosynthetic precursor for the pyridyl moiety of pyridomycin. Crystal structures of PyrZ in complex with substrate quinolinic acid (QA) and the final product NA revealed a specific salt bridge formed between K184 and the C3-carboxyl group of QA. This interaction positions QA for accepting the phosphoribosyl group to generate NAMN, retains NAMN within the active site, and mediates its translocation to nucleophile D296 for dephosphorylation. Combining kinetic and thermodynamic analysis with site-directed mutagenesis, the catalytic mechanism of PyrZ dephosphorylation was proposed. Our study discovered an alternative and concise NA biosynthetic pathway involving a unique multifunctional enzyme.
