Abstract

Several assays of pristinamycin I synthetases based on adenylate or thioester formation were developed. Purification to near homogeneity of these enzymatic activities from cell extracts of Streptomyces pristinaespiralis showed that three enzymes could activate all pristinamycin I precursors. SnbA, a 3-hydroxypicolinic acid: AMP ligase activating the first pristinamycin I residue, was purified 200-fold, using an ATP-pyrophosphate exchange assay. This enzyme was shown to be a monomer with an Mr of 67,000 as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Then a multifunctional enzyme, consisting of two identical subunits (SnbC) with Mrs of 240,000 and able to bind covalently L-threonine as a thioester, was purified 100-fold. This protein also activated L-aminobutyric acid, which is further epimerized to generate the third residue of the pristinamycin I macrocycle. A third protein, consisting of two identical subunits (SnbD) with Mrs estimated to be between 250,000 and 350,000, was purified 200-fold. This large enzyme catalyzed thioesterification and subsequent N-methylation of 4-dimethylamino-L-phenylalanine, the fifth pristinamycin I residue. SnbD could also activate L-proline, the fourth pristinamycin I residue, and some preparations retained a low but significant activity for the last two pristinamycin I precursors. Finally, a single polypeptide chain (SnbE) with an Mr of 170,000, catalyzing L-phenylglycine-dependent ATP-pyrophosphate exchange, was purified 3,000-fold and characterized. Stepwise Edman degradation of the entire polypeptides or some of their internal fragments provided amino acid sequences for the four isolated proteins. The purified SnbE protein was further shown to be a proteolytic fragment of SnbD.
