Pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme (PFL-AE), which generates the catalytically essential glycyl radical on PFL (Scheme 1), 1 is a representative member of an emerging group of enzymes that utilize iron-sulfur clusters and S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) as required cofactors in radical generation. This group includes related activating enzymes such as the anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase activating enzyme (aRNR-AE) from E. coli, 2 as well as biotin synthase, 3, 4 lipoic acid synthase, 5, 6 and lysine aminomutase (LAM). 7 Though diverse in function, these enzymes have been proposed to have in common key mechanistic features including the generation of an intermediate 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical that initiates catalysis by hydrogen atom abstraction. Isotopic labeling has provided indirect evidence for such a mechanism for PFL-AE and LAM. 8, 9 Recently, elegant work by Frey and co-workers has provided direct spectroscopic evidence for an allylic analogue of the 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical for LAM. 10A central question surrounding this group of enzymes is the mechanism by which the iron-sulfur clusters participate in generation of the 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical intermediate. A variety of iron-sulfur clusters, including [2Fe-2S],[3Fe-4S], and [4Fe-4S], have been identified in these AdoMet-dependent enzymes. 2-7, 11-13 It has been difficult, however, to identify unequivocally the catalytically relevant cluster. A [4Fe-4S] 1+ has been implicated as the active cluster for aRNR, 2a and LAM containing a [4Fe-4S] 1+ EPR signal has been shown to be catalytically active. 7a We report here that for PFL-AE under conditions of limiting reductant, each [4Fe-4S] 1+ cluster is capable of generating a single glycyl radical on PFL. Our results provide the first direct quantitative spectroscopic evidence that the [4Fe-4S] 1+ of PFL-AE is the catalytically relevant cluster, and
