Abstract

The function of a Bacteroidetes menaquinone biosynthetic pathway fusion protein comprised of an N-terminal haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) family domain and a C-terminal hotdog-fold family domain is described. Whereas the thioesterase domain efficiently catalyzes 1,4-dihydroxynapthoyl-CoA hydrolysis, an intermediate step in the menaquinone pathway, the HAD domain is devoid of catalytic activity. In some Bacteroidetes a homologous, catalytically active 1,4-dihydroxynapthoyl-CoA thioesterase replaces the fusion protein. Following the gene fusion event, sequence divergence resulted in a HAD domain that functions solely as the oligomerization domain of an otherwise inactive thioesterase domain.
