The EutT enzyme from Listeria monocytogenes ( LmEutT) is a member of the family of ATP:cobalt(I) corrinoid adenosyltransferase (ACAT) enzymes that catalyze the biosynthesis of adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) from exogenous Co(II)rrinoids and ATP. Apart from EutT-type ACATs, two evolutionary unrelated types of ACATs have been identified, termed PduO and CobA. Although the three types of ACATs are nonhomologous, they all generate a four-coordinate cob(II)alamin (4C Co(II)Cbl) species to facilitate the formation of a supernucleophilic Co(I)Cbl intermediate capable of attacking the 5'-carbon of cosubstrate ATP. Previous spectroscopic studies of the EutT ACAT from Salmonella enterica ( SeEutT) revealed that this enzyme requires a divalent metal cofactor for the conversion of 5C Co(II)Cbl to a 4C species. Interestingly, LmEutT does not require a divalent metal cofactor for catalytic activity, which exemplifies an interesting phylogenetic divergence among the EutT enzymes. To explore if this disparity in the metal cofactor requirement among EutT enzymes correlates with differences in substrate specificity or the mechanism of Co(II)Cbl reduction, we employed various spectroscopic techniques to probe the interaction of Co(II)Cbl and cob(II)inamide (Co(II)Cbi + ) with LmEutT in the absence and presence of cosubstrate ATP. Our data indicate that LmEutT displays a similar substrate specificity as SeEutT and can bind both Co(II)Cbl and Co(II)Cbi + when complexed with MgATP, though it exclusively converts Co(II)Cbl to a 4C species. Notably, LmEutT is the most effective ACAT studied to date in generating the catalytically relevant 4C Co(II)Cbl species, achieving a &gt;98% 5C → 4C conversion yield on the addition of just over one mol equiv of cosubstrate MgATP.
