During cofactor F(420) biosynthesis, the enzyme F(420)-γ-glutamyl ligase (FbiB) catalyzes the addition of γ-linked L-glutamate residues to form polyglutamylated F(420) derivatives. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Rv3262 (FbiB) consists of two domains: an N-terminal domain from the F(420) ligase superfamily and a C-terminal domain with sequence similarity to nitro-FMN reductase superfamily proteins. To characterize the role of the C-terminal domain of FbiB in polyglutamyl ligation, it has been pur ...[more]
