Nickel requirement and factor F430 content of methanogenic bacteria.
Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum has been reported to require nickel for growth and to contain high concentrations of a nickel tetrapyrrole designated factor F430. In this communication it is shown that all methanogenic bacteria investigated incorporated nickel during growth and also synthesized factor F430. This was also true for Methanobrevibacter smithii, which is dependent on acetate as...
متن کاملThe biosynthetic pathway of coenzyme F430 in methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea.
Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) is the key enzyme of methanogenesis and anaerobic methane oxidation. The activity of MCR is dependent on the unique nickel-containing tetrapyrrole known as coenzyme F430. We used comparative genomics to identify the coenzyme F430 biosynthesis (cfb) genes and characterized the encoded enzymes from Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A. The pathway involves nickelochela...
متن کاملAn extended-X-ray-absorption-fine-structure (e.x.a.f.s.) study of coenzyme F430 from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum.
Coenzyme F430 is a nickel porphinoid found in all methanogenic bacteria. Extended-X-ray-absorption-fine-structure (e.x.a.f.s.) spectra have been recorded above the nickel K-edge of coenzyme F430 and two model compounds, (5,10,15,20-tetramethylporphinato) nickel(II) and (5,10,15,20-tetramethylchlorinato)-nickel(II). The results show that the four nickel-nitrogen distances in F430 are split, with...
متن کاملStructural heterogeneity and purification of protein-free F430 from the cytoplasm of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum.
F430 is the nickel containing tetrapyrrole cofactor of S-methyl coenzyme M methylreductase, the enzyme that catalyzes the final step of methane production by methanogenic bacteria: the reduction of S-methyl coenzyme M (H3CSCH2CH2SO3-) to methane and coenzyme M (HSCH2CH2SO3-). The protein-free F430 obtained from the cytosol of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, strain delta H, exists predomin...
متن کاملBiodiversity and composition of methanogenic populations in the rumen of cows fed alfalfa hay or triticale straw.
It is clear that methanogens are responsible for ruminal methane emissions, but quantitative information about the composition of the methanogenic community in the bovine rumen is still limited. The diversity and composition of rumen methanogens in cows fed either alfalfa hay or triticale straw were examined using a full-cycle rRNA approach. Quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization under...
