The biosynthesis of the deazapurine base preQ(0), is catalysed by the successive action of four enzymes (GCH I, QueD, QueE and QueC). The pathway includes the conversion of the biosynthetic intermediate, 6-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin, to a novel intermediate, 7-carboxy-7-deazaguanine (CDG). This family of enzymes have been characterised as QueE with the canonical member being from B. multivorans. They form a discrete cluster of sequences at an E-value of 1e-55 and have a Cx14CxxC [4Fe-4S]-AdoMet binding motif and a pruned down (ab)6 domain architecture in the form of b6/a3. As with the canonical QueE family, this set of enzymes has been shown to be Mg(II) dependent and the SAM moiety is utilised in a catalytic manner.
