Oxalyl-coenzyme A reduction to glyoxylate is the preferred route of oxalate assimilation in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1.
Oxalate catabolism is conducted by phylogenetically diverse organisms, including Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. Here, we investigate the central metabolism of this alphaproteobacterium during growth on oxalate by using proteomics, mutant characterization, and (13)C-labeling experiments. Our results confirm that energy conservation proceeds as previously described for M. extorquens AM1 and oth...
متن کاملTranscriptional and functional analysis of oxalyl-coenzyme A (CoA) decarboxylase and formyl-CoA transferase genes from Lactobacillus acidophilus.
Oxalic acid is found in dietary sources (such as coffee, tea, and chocolate) or is produced by the intestinal microflora from metabolic precursors, like ascorbic acid. In the human intestine, oxalate may combine with calcium, sodium, magnesium, or potassium to form less soluble salts, which can cause pathological disorders such as hyperoxaluria, urolithiasis, and renal failure in humans. In thi...
متن کاملCleavage of malyl-Coenzyme A into acetyl-Coenzyme A and glyoxylate by Pseudomonas AM1 and other C1-unit-utilizing bacteria.
1. Malyl-CoA lyase was found in high activity in extracts of Pseudomonas AM1, Pseudomonas MA, Pseudomonas MS, Hyphomicrobium X and Methylosinus trichosporium. 2. The enzyme cleaves (2S)-malyl-CoA into equimolar amounts of acetyl-CoA and glyoxylate in the presence of Mg(2+). 3. The specific activity of malyl-CoA lyase was several-fold higher in Pseudomonas AM1 when grown on C(1) compounds than w...
متن کاملIi. Enzymatic Synthesis of Formyl Phosphate and Formyl Coenzyme a in Clostridi Um Cylindrosporum
It was incidentally observed in this laboratory that crystalline preparations of formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase from CEostridium cylindrosporum catalyze the activation of formate by adenosine triphosphate in the absence of tetrahydrofolate. Efforts to determine whether the tetrahydrofolate-independent reaction is catalyzed by formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase led eventually to the discovery ...
