glycyl-radical enzyme activating protein This subset of the radical-SAM family (pfam04055) includes a number of probable activating proteins acting on different enzymes all requiring an amino-acid-centered radical. The closest relatives to this family are the pyruvate-formate lyase activating enzyme (PflA, 1.97.1.4, TIGR02493) and the anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase activating enzyme (TIGR02491). Included within this subfamily are activators of hydroxyphenyl acetate decarboxylase (HdpA), benzylsuccinate synthase (BssD), gycerol dehydratase (DhaB2) as well as enzymes annotated in E. coli as activators of different isozymes of pyruvate-formate lyase (PFLC and PFLE) however, these appear to lack characterization and may activate enzymes with distinctive functions. Most of the sequence-level variability between these forms is concentrated within an N-terminal domain which follows a conserved group of three cysteines and contains a variable pattern of 0 to 8 additional cysteines. |
