working model for archaea in which the E1-like UbaA and ubiquitin-like SAMP proteins function in both protein conjugation and sulfur transfer. In this model, UbaA catalyzes the adenylation of the C-terminal glycine of the SAMPs for their activation in protein conjugation. This adenylation would also activate SAMP1 and SAMP2 for their acceptance of sulfur as a C-terminal thiocarboxylate to serve as a sulfur carrier in MoCo biosynthesis and tRNA thiolation, respectively. During protein conjugation, a thioester intermediate is suggested to be formed between the active site Cys188 of UbaA and the C-terminal carboxyl group of the SAMPs. This prediction is based on: (i) the requirement of UbaA Cys188 for protein-conjugate formation, (ii) the conservation of UbaA Cys188 with the active site cysteine of E1-type enzymes known to form an E1-Ub thioester, and (iii) the detection of isopeptide (and not persulfide) bonds between the C-terminal carboxyl group of SAMP2 and the epsilon-amino group of lysine residues of target proteins. However, further studies are needed to demonstrate this intermediate. It is not clear whether UbaA forms a covalent intermediate with the SAMPs after their adenylation in the sulfur transfer pathways and what provides the activated source of sulfur for this putative thiocarboxylation reaction |
