The importance of radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (RS) enzymes in the maturation of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) continues to expand, specifically for the RS-SPASM subfamily. We recently discovered an RS-SPASM enzyme that installs a carbon-carbon bond between the geminal methyls of valine residues, resulting in the formation of cyclopropylglycine (CPG). Here, we sought to define the family of cyclopropyl (CP) synthases because of the importance of cyclopropane scaffolds in pharmaceutical development. Using RadicalSAM.org, we bioinformatically expanded the family of CP synthases and assigned unique peptide sequences to each subclade. We identified a unique RiPP biosynthetic pathway that encodes a precursor peptide, TigB, with a repeating TIGSVS motif. Using LCMS and NMR techniques, we show that the RS enzyme associated with the pathway, TigE, catalyzes the formation of a methyl-CPG from the conserved isoleucine residing in the repeating motif of TigB. Furthermore, we obtained a crystal structure of TigE, which reveals an unusual tyrosyl ligation to the auxiliary I [4Fe-4S] cluster, provided by a glycine-tyrosine-tryptophan motif unique to all CP synthases. Further, we show that this unique tyrosyl ligation is absolutely required for TigE activity. Together, our results provide insight into how CP synthases perform this unique reaction.
