As a precursor to the essential vitamin tetrahydrofolate, para-aminobenzoate (pABA) is needed for nucleotide and amino acid synthesis. Chlamydia trachomatis, the causative agent of the sexually transmitted infection, lacks the canonical pabABC biosynthetic pathway and instead utilizes a novel stratagem for pABA synthesis that is catalyzed by the enzyme Chlamydia protein associating with death domains (CADD). Originally assigned as a diiron enzyme, we report high in vitro activity relies on the stoichiometric addition of both Fe and Mn. Furthermore, CADD is shown to activate O2 to self-sacrificially produce pABA from Tyr27. This work addresses the unusual mechanism by which Chlamydiae produce pABA, which is a prime target for the development of therapeutic agents to treat infections. Chlamydia protein associating with death domains (CADD) is involved in the biosynthesis of para-aminobenzoate (pABA), an essential component of the folate cofactor that is required for the survival and proliferation of the human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis. The pathway used by Chlamydiae for pABA synthesis differs from the canonical multi-enzyme pathway used by most bacteria that relies on chorismate as a metabolic precursor. Rather, recent work showed pABA formation by CADD derives from l-tyrosine. As a member of the emerging superfamily of heme oxygenase–like diiron oxidases (HDOs), CADD was proposed to use a diiron cofactor for catalysis. However, we report maximal pABA formation by CADD occurs upon the addition of both iron and manganese, which implicates a heterobimetallic Fe:Mn cluster is the catalytically active form. Isotopic labeling experiments and proteomics studies show that CADD generates pABA from a protein-derived tyrosine (Tyr27), a residue that is ∼14 Å from the dimetal site. We propose that this self-sacrificial reaction occurs through O2 activation by a probable Fe:Mn cluster through a radical relay mechanism that connects to the “substrate” Tyr, followed by amination and direct oxygen insertion. These results provide the molecular basis for pABA formation in C. trachomatis, which will inform the design of novel therapeutics.
