to 2.2 A resolution. The C-terminal domain of PrmC adopts the canonical S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase fold and shares structural similarity with the nucleotide N-methyltransferases in the active site, including use of a conserved (D/N)PPY motif to select and position the glutamine substrate. Residues of the PrmC 197NPPY200 motif form hydrogen bonds that position the planar Gln side chain such that the lone-pair electrons on the nitrogen nucleophile are oriented toward the methyl group of S-adenosyl-Lmethionine. In the product complex, the methyl group remains pointing toward the sulfur, consistent with either an sp3-hybridized, positively charged Gln nitrogen, or a neutral sp2-hybridized nitrogen in a strained conformation. Due to steric overlap within the active site, proton loss and formation of the neutral planar methylamide product are likely to occur during or after product release Thermotoga maritima
