Here we report the initial biochemical characterization of the bifunctional α-ribazole-P (α-RP) phosphatase, adenosylcobinamide (AdoCbi) amidohydrolase CbiS enzyme from the hyperthermophilic methanogenic archaeonMethanopyrus kandleriAV19. ThecbiSgene encodes a 39-kDa protein with two distinct segments, one of which is homologous to the AdoCbi amidohydrolase (CbiZ, EC 3.5.1.90) enzyme and the other of which is homologous to the recently discovered archaeal α-RP phosphatase (CobZ, EC 3.1.3.73) enzyme. CbiS function restored AdoCbi salvaging and α-RP phosphatase activity in strains of the bacteriumSalmonella entericawhere either step was blocked. The two halves of thecbiSgenes retained their function in vivo when they were cloned separately. The CbiS enzyme was overproduced inEscherichia coliand was isolated to >95% homogeneity. High-performance liquid chromatography, UV-visible spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy established α-ribazole and cobyric acid as the products of the phosphatase and amidohydrolase reactions, respectively. Reasons why the CbiZ and CobZ enzymes are fused in some archaea are discussed.
