F430 is the cofactor (sometimes called the coenzyme) of the enzyme methyl coenzyme M reductase (MCR).[1][2] MCR catalyzes the reaction EC 2.8.4.1 that releases methane in the final step of methanogenesis:

CH
3–S–CoM + HS–CoB → CH
4 + CoB–S–S–CoM
Structure of coenzyme M (HS-CoM)
Structure of coenzyme B (HS-CoB)

It is found only in methanogenic Archaea[3] and anaerobic methanotrophic Archaea. It occurs in relatively high concentrations in archaea that are involved in reverse methanogenesis: these can contain up to 7% by weight of the nickel protein.[4]

Structure

The trivial name cofactor F430 was assigned in 1978 based on the properties of a yellow sample extracted from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, which had a spectroscopic maximum at 430 nm.[5] It was identified as the MCR cofactor in 1982[6] and the complete structure was deduced by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy.[7] Coenzyme F430 features a reduced porphyrin in a macrocyclic ring system called a corphin.[8] In addition, it possesses two additional rings in comparison to the standard tetrapyrrole (rings A-D), having a γ-lactam ring E and a keto-containing carbocyclic ring F. It is the only natural tetrapyrrole containing nickel, an element rarely found in biological systems.[9]

Biosynthesis

uroporphyrinogen III
dihydrosirohydrochlorin
sirohydrochlorin

The biosynthesis builds from uroporphyrinogen III, the progenitor of all natural tetrapyrroles, including chlorophyll, vitamin B12, phycobilins, siroheme, heme, and heme d1. It is converted to sirohydrochlorin via dihydrosirohydrochlorin.[10] Insertion of nickel into this tetrapyrrole is catalysed in reaction EC 4.99.1.11 by the same chelatase, CbiX, which inserts cobalt in the biosynthesis of cobalamin, here giving nickel(II)-sirohydrochlorin.[11]

Nickel(II)-sirohydrochlorin a,c-diamide is converted to seco-F430. It is traditional to depict only one of four Ni-N bonds.

The ATP-dependent Ni-sirohydrochlorin a,c-diamide synthase (CfbE) then converts the a and c acetate side chains to acetamide in reactions EC 6.3.5.12, generating nickel(II)-sirohydrochlorin a,c-diamide. The sequence of the two amidations is random.[11] A two-component complex Ni-sirohydrochlorin a,c-diamide reductive cyclase (CfbCD) carries out a 6-electron and 7-proton reduction of the ring system in a reaction EC 6.3.3.7 generating the 15,173-seco-F430-173-acid (seco-F430) intermediate. Reduction involves ATP hydrolysis and electrons are relayed through two 4Fe-4S centres. In the final step, the keto-containing carbocyclic ring F is formed by an ATP-dependent enzyme Coenzyme F(430) synthetase (CfbB) in reaction EC 6.4.1.9, generating coenzyme F430.[11][12][13] This enzyme is a MurF-like ligase, as found in peptidoglycan biosynthesis.
