Numerous post-transcriptional modifications of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) play vital roles in translation. The 2-methylthio-N6-isopentenyladenosine (ms2i6A) modification occurs at position 37 (A37) in tRNAs that contain adenine in position 36 of the anticodon, and serves to promote efficient A:U codon-anticodon base-pairing and to prevent unintended base-pairing by near cognates, thus enhancing translational fidelity. The ms2i6A modification is installed onto isopentenyladenosine (i6A) by MiaB, a radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) methylthiotransferase (MTTase). As a radical SAM protein, MiaB contains one [Fe4S4]RS cluster used in the reductive cleavage of SAM to form a 5’-deoxyadenosyl 5’-radical (5’-dA•), which is responsible for removing the C2 hydrogen of the substrate. MiaB also contains an auxiliary [Fe4S4]aux cluster, which has been implicated in sulfur transfer to C2 of i6A37. How this transfer takes place is largely unknown. Herein, we present several structures of MiaB from Bacteroides uniformis (BuMiaB). These structures are consistent with a two-step mechanism, in which one molecule of SAM is first used to methylate a bridging μ-sulfido ion of the auxiliary cluster. In the second step, a second SAM molecule is cleaved to a 5’-dA•, which abstracts the C2 hydrogen of the substrate, but after C2 has undergone rehybridization from sp2 to sp3. This work advances our understanding of how enzymes functionalize inert C–H bonds with sulfur. First X-ray crystal structures of a methylthiotransferase that acts on tRNA
