Pyrrolysine is the 22nd naturally occurring amino acid residue and is formed from two lysine molecules in a reaction pathway that requires three proteins: PylB, PylC and PylD. PylB, the first enzyme in the pathway, shares the CxxxCxxC canonical [4Fe-4S] binding motif that marks it as a member of the radical SAM superfamily. PylB is responsible for the isomerisation of L-lysine into (2R,3R) 3-methylornithine. It is currently unclear if PylB is a single-turnover enzyme, studies have shown that, at least in the absence of PylC and/or PylD, it is only capable of a single-turnover.
