N2 - SyrC, a component of the multienzyme system of syringomycin biosynthesis, has been shown to shuttle Thr/4-Cl-Thr between the thiolation domains SyrBl-Tl and Syr-E-T8,9 by transiently linking it to Cys224 in the enzyme active site. We present data on the structure-function relationship in vivo of this protein and an in silico model of its three-dimensional structure. The biosynthetic activity of SyrC was not influenced when either Asp348 or His376 that together with Cys224 form a putative catalytic triad, were replaced with Ala, but it was abolished by the exchange Cys224 with Ser. The presence of the FLAG peptide on either the N- or C-terminus of the protein did not affect activity, whereas the deletion of the first 16 amino acids at the N-terminus or the insertion of Maltose Binding Protein abolished the production of syringomycin. We present the model of the three-dimensional structure of SyrC suggesting a homodimeric structure for the protein and biochemical data that are supportive of this model.
