[LarE]-S-[1-(5-O-phosphono-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-(sulfanylcarbonyl)pyridin-1-ium-3-carbonyl]-L-cysteine pyridin-1-ium-3,5-dicarbothioate-mononucleotide-lyase (ATP-consuming)

This enzyme, found in Lactobacillus plantarum, is involved in the biosynthesis of a nickel-pincer cofactor. The process starts when one enzyme molecule adenylates pyridinium-3,5-dicarboxylate mononucleotide (P2CMN) and covalently binds the adenylated product to an intrinsic cysteine residue. Next, the enzyme cleaves the carbon-sulfur bond, liberating pyridinium-3-carboxylate-5-thiocarboxylate mononucleotide (PCTMN) and leaving a 2-aminoprop-2-enoate (dehydroalanine) residue attached to the protein. Since the cysteine residue is not regenerated in vivo, the enzyme is inactivated during the process. A second enzyme molecule then repeats the process with PCTMN, adenylating it and covalently binding it to the same cysteine residue, followed by liberation of pyridinium-3,5-bisthiocarboxylate mononucleotide (P2TMN) and the inactivation of the second enzyme molecule.
