Malonic semialdehyde reductase, succinic semialdehyde reductase, and succinyl-coenzyme A reductase from Metallosphaera sedula: enzymes of the autotrophic 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle in Sulfolobales.
A 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle operates during autotrophic CO(2) fixation in various members of the Crenarchaea. In this cycle, as determined using Metallosphaera sedula, malonyl-coenzyme A (malonyl-CoA) and succinyl-CoA are reductively converted via their semialdehydes to the corresponding alcohols 3-hydroxypropionate and 4-hydroxybutyrate. Here three missing oxidoreductases of ...
متن کاملMalonic semialdehyde reductase from the archaeon Nitrosopumilus maritimus is involved in the autotrophic 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle.
The recently described ammonia-oxidizing archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota are highly abundant in marine, geothermal, and terrestrial environments. All characterized representatives of this phylum are aerobic chemolithoautotrophic ammonia oxidizers assimilating inorganic carbon via a recently described thaumarchaeal version of the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle. Although some ge...
متن کاملPropionate assimilation in the flagellate Polytomella caeca. An inducible mitochondrial enzyme system.
1. The assimilation of propionate by Polytomella caeca involves the beta-oxidation of this fatty acid. 2. Propionate-grown cells immediately oxidize propionate, beta-hydroxypropionate, malonic semialdehyde and acetate; acetate-grown cells oxidize propionate rapidly only after a lag of 2hr., and this adaptation of resting cells to propionate involves the formation of the enzymes of beta-oxidatio...
متن کاملEnzymatic conversion of cyanide to thiocyanate.
T HE minute amounts of thiocyanate normally present in urine, blood and saliva have stimulated the interest of many workers as to the origin of the cyanide and the pattern of conversion of cyanide to thiocyanate. The problem has toxicologic as well as physiologic importance because of the great toxicity of cyanide. The detoxication of cyanide in the animal body was first demonstrated by S. Lang...
متن کاملThe enzymatic conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine.
The enzymatic oxidation of phenylalanine to tyrosine has been studied as part of an investigation of the intermediates and enzyme systems involved in the biosynthesis of epinephrine. Womack and Rose (1) indicated that phenylalanine was converted to tyrosine in viva by showing that tyrosine is not essential when sufficient phenylalanine is available. Definite proof was provided by Moss and Schoe...
