Biotin synthase is an S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) radical enzyme that inserts sulfur into dethiobiotin to produce biotin. The reaction proceeds through 5'deoxyadenosyl radical intermediates that become reduced during the sulfur insertion step to give another product of the reaction, 5'-deoxyadenosine. We report that Escherichia coli strains lacking the 5'-methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase encoded by the pfs gene are deficient in blotin synthase activity due to accumulation of 5'-deoxyadenosine, a new substrate of the pfs-encoded nucleosidase. Physiological experiments indicate that lipoic acid synthase, another SAM radical enzyme, is also inhibited by 5'-deoxyadenosine accumulation.
