  • Beschreibung: AbstractEnzymes known as bifunctional and bimodular prokaryotic type-I FAD synthetase (FADS) exhibit ATP:riboflavin kinase (RFK) and FMN:ATP adenylyltransferase (FMNAT) activities in their C-terminal and N-terminal modules, respectively, and produce flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). These act as cofactors of a plethora of flavoproteins in all organisms. Therefore, regulation of their production maintains the cellular flavoproteome homeostasis. Here, we focus on regulation of the FMN synthesis in Corynebacterium ammoniagenes (Ca) by the inhibition of its RFK activity by substrates and products of the reaction. We use a truncated CaFADS variant consisting in the isolated C-terminal RFK module, whose RFK activity is similar to that of the full-length enzyme. Inhibition of the RFK activity by the RF substrate is independent of the FMNAT module, and FMN production, in addition to being inhibited by an excess of RF, is also inhibited by both of the reaction products. Pre-steady-state kinetic and thermodynamic studies reveal key aspects to the substrates induced fit to produce the catalytically competent complex. Among them, the role of Mg2+ in the concerted allocation of substrates for catalysis and the ensemble of non-competent complexes that contribute to the regulated inhibition of the RFK activity are particularly relevant.
